About the Book

Have you ever thought about your deeper purpose in life?

Are you currently on the right path or are you feeling lost in your existence?

Regardless of where you currently stand the lessons in this book can help you to:

  • Identify your core purpose(s) in life to feel as though you are working towards your destiny.
  • Implement evidence-based practices for maximizing your potential on a daily basis.
  • Discover cutting-edge neuropsychological treatments for combatting depression and existential crisis.
Research over the past century has shown that perceiving purpose in one's life is vital for mental and physical health.

Higher levels of purpose are related to reduced depression and anxiety, better quality of life, and lower risk for stroke and Alzheimer's disease.

The author of this book dealt with an existential crisis and lack of purpose before discovering the work of Dr. Viktor E. Frankl and going on to become a neuropsychologist. Pursuing Purpose provides a method for using modern neuropsychology tools as well as the teachings of Dr. Frankl to maximize purpose and live life to the fullest.

Praise for Pursuing Purpose:

"The reader feels as though they are having a discussion with a trusted clinician who makes appropriate and helpful recommendations for discovering meaning and purpose. Even when discussing complicated subjects related to brain functioning or specific research studies, it is told in a way that is digestible to readers who do not have advanced degrees in neuropsychology." -Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy

"A highly thorough and helpful approach."
-Alex Korb, Bestselling Author of The Upward Spiral

"It is absolutely worth it! Pursuing Purpose by Nate Shanok is a truly insightful read for those looking to get the most out of their lives. The book merges neuroscience, psychology, and practical advice to help readers understand their own potential and take action to achieve their desired life goals." -Dr. Sukanlaya Sawang (Editor of Behavioral Sciences)

"Victor Frankl's ideas about people's search for purpose and meaning in life has been the bulwark for humanistic theory and psychotherapy. Rarely has it been examined from a neuropsychological perspective. This is what Nate Shanok has done in his highly accessible book, Pursuing Purpose: A Neuropsychological Approach to Maximize Life and Enjoy the
Process. Dr. Shanok takes the reader on a personal journey of discovering purpose and its role in psychological wellbeing. Shanok combines descriptions of his own quest for purpose and those of others with rigorous scientific evaluations of the importance of purpose and meaning in psychological adjustment. The novel contribution of this book is the successful integration of humanistic theory and therapy influenced by Frankl's revolutionary ideas with solid empirical evidence, much of it neuropsychological. Pursuing Purpose will be of interest to anyone who has thought about the meaning of life (and whom of us hasn't) but who wants the answers to this existential question to be based on solid science."
-Dr. David Bjorklund (Author of Origins of the Social Mind: Evolutionary Psychology and Child Development and Editor of the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology)
