April 8, 2023Purposeful: Finding Greater Meaning and Engagement at Work by Sandeep K. Krishnan is a must-read for anyone seeking to find greater purpose and engagement in their work. The author provides a comprehensive guide to help individuals discover their purpose, cultivate a mindset for greater engagement, and fuel their purpose accelerators.
The Author draws on contemporary research from psychology, philosophy, management, and business to demonstrate how purpose can lead to greater engagement, satisfaction, and productivity in the workplace. He shares his over two decades of experience in the field, providing practical and actionable tips for readers to apply in their own lives.
One of the most valuable takeaways from the book is the concept of crafting a 'micro-purpose'. This involves setting meaningful goals that can be achieved in a shorter period, providing a sense of accomplishment and motivation to continue pursuing one's larger purpose.
Krishnan also emphasizes the importance of building an 'owning' mindset, where individuals take ownership of their work and actively seek out opportunities for growth and development. He provides guidance on building resilience and overcoming overthinking, which can hinder progress towards one's purpose.
The author explores the idea of purposeful organizations, where purpose is embedded in the company culture and drives employee engagement and productivity. He shares examples of purpose-driven companies, highlighting their successes and providing insights for readers to apply in their own organizations.
My personal favourite part of the book were the Interviews conducted by the author. Especially the interview of Mr Anand Deshpande, the Chairman and MD of Persistent Systems. (Many of my friends are his employees!)
Overall, Purposeful is a highly informative and practical guide for anyone seeking to find greater purpose and engagement in their work. Krishnan's approach is grounded in research and real-world experience, making it a valuable resource for professionals at all stages of their careers

"Purposeful:Finding Greater Meaning And Engagement At Work" is not just a book; it's a precious gem for me. Sandeep K. Krishnan's thoughts in writing this book are very useful for the youth who are involved in jobs and who are also their business partners. This book gives them a new perspective on how to conquer the big situation during their tenure as an employee of the company.
Somewhere I connected to the author's mastery of language that could be easily understood. Explanation of the topic through examples is a phenomenon; through this concept, readers understand the point easily. The author added some analysis charts after almost every topic, which give us output according to our workplace or working environment. Pie charts and questions are also added at the end of some chapters, which is very useful in understanding topics.
With the help of this book, we build our strengths and know the analytical point of our job. What does our work give us, and what should we do to improve our business? We should know every aspect of our work—philosophical, cultural, spiritual, and social.
The author also discusses skill development and how it is helpful in every field. When we upgrade our skills, it will help us build resilience, through which we can achieve success more easily. Even in bad conditions, we should keep thinking about the positive aspects of the result. If we overthink any circumstances, it will be bad for our personality as well as our psychology.
While reading the book, I thought about myself and what I should do to improve my skills and personality. We should always keep learning new things. And in today's world, a person takes an interview as a big deal, but it's more like an opportunity for interpersonal skill development and to represent ourselves. Sandeep sir's book filled me with positive energy and a positive attitude; after reading this, I'll never fall down in my life.
Overall, it is a praiseworthy book, and it will help.

PURPOSEFUL
We all have some purpose on this earth. Their is a saying “Don’t wait for inspiration. It comes while working.”
Their is a term called professional commitment which is to be followed by employees and employers and this book actually tells you how to be more engaged at work. Their is hype created for people working 9-5 but the people who offers their best working 9-5 gives the utmost results to big companies. I have worked 9-6 in the company called Teleperformance for 6 months. I was excited at the first but after 2 months I felt like this is not for me, I can do something else, which is good for me. I started getting disengaged with the work and it started showing in my results because I didn’t have an actual purpose to grow in the company. I merely came for experience. I didn’t value money and I didn’t believe in savings and investment and that made me quit the company in 6 months. The thing that discouraged me the most was biased culture, people who were working with me stood at a higher level which ultimately made me feel inferior.
Employers and employees both should read this book in order to find purpose at work.
The important point to note is
GOAL+ CAUSE/ MEANING = PURPOSE
This book should be read by every level of person working above and beyond someone. This book should be used as a subject in Human Resources Management.
I give ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ this book.

"Despite outstanding academic and professional accomplishments, women who experience the imposter phenomenon persist in believing that they are really not bright and have fooled anyone who thinks otherwise."
'Purposeful' by Sandeep K. Krishnan is a book that explores the world of working and earning and finding engagement and satisfaction while doing so. It dives into multiple concepts that can help organisations and their employees realise their place and engagement level.
As someone who has recently joined the corporate work culture, this book was very interesting. It helped me understand a lot of things, especially regarding my involvement or what I thought my position in the company is. Honestly, I took a long time to read this book because, for me, it is not a fast read. I will lose the book's very essence if I try to read it just to complete it. It did indeed show a different side to working. I often read a chapter when I felt demotivated; surprisingly, this helped.
Although this book seemed to become very monotonous sometimes. I lost interest in reading it, but it was better when I read it at a slower pace. I feel this book is a must-read for executives and HRs. It can guide them to help their employees and rectify mistakes that result in a dissatisfied working environment. For employees, it's a good book to explore their own motivations and inspirations, and what works for them.

I reached for this book after a particularly tough week. I was feeling low, and so many things had started to creep up on me, making me feel like a deflated balloon. This book gave me a little bit of that strength back, and I can’t believe just how my mindset has changed because of it! I’m thrilled to be sharing my review of this book.
"Purposeful: Finding Greater Meaning And Engagement At Work"
-Sandeep K. Krishnan
I read the first few pages of this book and it instantly felt as though the author was speaking directly to me. From the start, I found the book to be so brilliantly positive, so even if you don’t want to read books that focus on working life, this can still be something you can get on board with!
The book mentions many points that made me say ‘That’s me!’ or ‘I’ve experienced that!’ which helped me feel close to the author. It felt like I was having a conversation with a friend or a counseling session with a professional – this little detail alone made me feel at ease and trust the information we were being given.
By the final couple of chapters, I was feeling so much better in myself and ready to set some new goals in motion!
The concluding chapter rounded off the book well, skimming over the importance of kindness and mindfulness, gently nudging you on your way to a better, more fulfilled life in the new normal. I ended the book feeling much more empowered than I did before – and for that, I have the author to thank!

This book is a good choice for working professionals because in this book it has explained how we can find purpose in our work. The author has also discussed in this book how a decent employee should be. What should be the forte of it? Two classifications of employees have been discussed in this book. First, they are those who are engaged in their company and company prosperity. Others are those who are not much interested in their company, they are always trying to find a better job.
This book provides you with the right guidance and suggestions on how to become a good employee and be most engaged in your company. Our perspective and purpose hold a particularly important place in the workplace because it influences our company. Whether it is despondent or positive both have their different effects. Thinking of every employee is different. Some employers think about the advancement of their company while some think about their wealth.
You are going to learn a lot from this book such as how to set your purpose at your workplace and how to be more engaged in your company, how to become a good employee who can flourish the corporation. The author has written this book in a very well-organized way, and I relished it very considerably.

This Nonfiction is a boon for the modern generation who is stressed and struggling at work. The author has given his insights into workplace trauma and management with his extensive research in psychology, management, business, and philosophy. Not just for employees; the book also provides suggestions for employers and managerial position holders to create a good working environment.
The activity at the end of each chapter makes the book exciting and allows us to reflect on our own experiences at work. I loved how there was an exclusive activity-based chapter towards the end. The data and statistics provided a clearer vision. To top it off, interviews from famous personalities like Harish Bhat (chairman of Tata coffee ltd), Prasanth Nair (ex-IAS officer, Kerala), Dr. Anand Deshpande (founder, director and chairman of Persistent Systems) and Nitin Paranjpe (Unilever's chief operating officer) were inspiring and insightful.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to improve performance at work and anyone with an idea for a startup because there is a lot of input about the same. This book may seem thick, but it glides off so smoothly and doesn't feel like Nonfiction at all.

Purposeful: Finding greater meaning and engagement at work is a 16-chapter book consisting of about 190+ pages. A bulky read that also carries the bulk of useful facts and information. Presented by the author with his thoughts backed up by the necessary data required at the times.
