If you long to experience a fulfilled life free from tussles, and regrets, The Hunt of Purpose reveals the How.

This responsibility continues to hunt those who try to live their lives outside it. This book explains in details such subjects like Who am I? What is my place on earth? What was I born to do? What happens if I don’t become who I was born to be? Why are there so much confusion and problems in our world? Why are there so much cruelty, hatred and fear in our neighborhood? Why is humanity threatened with economic hardships, pandemic, and suffering? Our world has never been threatened like we are right now. Our dear world is in turmoil, and deep crisis. Why are we going through all these? The reason for our numerous challenges is that our world is suffering a HUNT from our Corporate Purpose. The world has lost the purpose of its existence.
