But there is a way to find and follow your purpose. For over twenty years, Bill Hendricks has been helping people of all ages and stages find meaning and direction for their work and for their lives. The key is harnessing the power of human giftedness . Every person has their own unique giftedness—including you!

Through this book, find out what you were born to do and the profound difference that insight makes for every area—your work, your relationships, even your spirituality. The Person Called You is a celebration, exploration, and explanation of human giftedness. Bill describes what it is (and isn't), where it comes from, how you can discover your own giftedness, and, most importantly, its potential to transform your life.
