Book Review: ‘Black Hole Focus’ How Intelligent People Create a Powerful Purpose for Their Lives
“Finding a purpose for living is the only way to escape from a life of mediocrity and meaninglessness. It leads to a brighter internal spark and a longer and more productive life.” Relying on destiny makes people complacent. When you assume there’s already a plan in place, you may put your life on autopilot, drift aimlessly, and fall into a habit of small, meaningless decisions. This could lead to a hollow fate, but one that you can avoid with effort. As internationally acclaimed Fortune 500 consultant Isaiah Hankel, Ph.D., explains, “The toughest decision a person will ever make is determining his or her ultimate purpose in life.” Hankel has worked with leading corporations around the world and regularly presents at premier academic institutions, including Harvard University and Oxford University. In his book “Black Hole Focus,” Hankel rejects the complacent notion of destiny entirely, instead giving individuals the tools they need to find and fulfill their own purpose. Why You Need a Purpose Hankel starts by presenting research that links having a clear purpose with slower rates of mental decline and greater longevity. This is due to the fact that having a purpose enables you to meet your three prime needs: growth, connection, and autonomy.
Leaving these needs unfulfilled could lead to a life that feels mediocre and meaningless.
How to Find Your Purpose The best way to identify your goals for the future is to “ruthlessly evaluate your current position.” This means taking responsibility for both the good and the bad, so you can determine where you want to be and what must change to get you there. How to Fulfill Your Purpose More than anything else, Hankel warns against the “life hack lie.” There are no shortcuts to success, and every purpose will demand years of effort. For this reason, Hankel guides you to develop a can-do mindset and avoid willpower depletion. From here, you can create a whatever-it-takes mentality, which makes you better able to overcome challenges without feeling discouraged as you pursue your purpose. Based on scientific concepts from the fields of psychology, physiology, and motivational theory, Hankel’s ‘Black Hole Focus’ offers valuable instruction to benefit anyone, from CEOs to stay- at-home parents. If you feel bound by circumstances, using “Black Hole Focus” to help you find your purpose may be the way out.
