Have you ever felt like something is missing—like your daily routine and career don’t quite match the person you truly want to be? You’re not alone. In her insightful book, To Bridge The Purpose Gap, Dr. Brandy Stamper explores this widely experienced phenomenon, naming it the “Purpose Gap.” It’s that often frustrating disconnect between what you do and what deeply matters to you. This misalignment can sometimes leave you feeling stuck, burned out, and questioning whether you’re on the right path.
But here’s some encouraging news: You may be able to change that. Dr. Stamper doesn’t just diagnose the problem—she offers a roadmap to help you align your life with your true purpose.
Discovering Who You Are Through the Enneagram
At the heart of Dr. Stamper’s approach is the Enneagram, a widely regarded tool that can help you understand your core motivations, fears, and unique personality type. Rather than a one-size-fits-all formula, the Enneagram provides insights into what truly drives you and how that influences the choices you make. By uncovering your personal patterns, you’ll likely gain clarity that could help you take control of your life’s direction and potentially close the Purpose Gap.
Taking Action: A Step-by-Step Guide to Realignment
What sets Bridge The Purpose Gap apart is its practical approach. This isn’t just a book filled with theories—it’s a thoughtfully designed guide aimed at helping you make meaningful changes.
Dr. Stamper guides you through exercises that encourage deep self-reflection. You’ll explore your passions, strengths, and values, potentially leading you to craft a personal purpose statement—a compass for what you truly want in both your personal and professional life. With this statement as a reference, you might find it easier to make decisions, choosing paths that better align with your deepest aspirations.
Why Purpose Matters—At Work and Beyond
Living with purpose isn’t just about personal happiness—it can have a ripple effect. When individuals feel aligned with their work, businesses often thrive. Employees tend to become more engaged, creativity can flourish, and workplace culture may shift toward growth and fulfillment. Dr. Stamper highlights how organizations that prioritize purpose-driven leadership often create environments where people feel valued, inspired, and more likely to contribute their best.
Real Stories, Real Transformations
One of the most engaging aspects of Bridge The Purpose Gap is the real-life stories woven throughout its pages. Readers will meet individuals who made significant choices to realign their lives, like a high-powered executive who left a draining corporate career to pursue community service, eventually finding greater fulfillment. Or someone who, after understanding their Enneagram type, worked to repair strained relationships and create a more harmonious personal and professional life.
These stories suggest that meaningful change is possible—and that you, too, might bridge your own Purpose Gap.
Your Journey Starts Now
Dr. Brandy Stamper’s Bridge The Purpose Gap is more than just a book—it’s an invitation. An invitation to step back, reflect, and consider taking control of your narrative. It’s a call to stop drifting and start living with intention.
No matter where you are in your journey, this book provides tools, guidance, and encouragement to help you move forward with greater clarity. Whether through introspection, community engagement, or professional development, every step you take toward purpose could contribute to a richer, more meaningful life.
So, are you ready? The journey to fulfillment could start now. Let’s bridge that gap—together.
