Purpose Work Nation is a guidebook for leaders who want to activate their purpose, leave a profound legacy, enjoy soulful connection, kinship and belonging at work, and play a critical role fulfilling the purpose of the United States.

The United States has a sacred purpose  - to be the first multicultural nation to achieve unity (E Pluribus Unum) and flourishing (“...life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”).

And yet these are increasingly out of reach for the majority of citizens: 97% of us are unhealthy, 78% of us are paycheck to paycheck, and 61% of us are lonely. And these are just the averages - life is much worse for women, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ citizens, e.g., $.01 of black wealth for every dollar of white wealth.

Given the dysfunction of our nation’s politics, the low (25%) trust of government, our deeply segregated education system, the decades-long slide in religion, and the comparatively high trust in one’s employer (72%), it increasingly falls on enterprise to fulfill our noble purpose.

Purpose Work Nation illuminates a path for business to unlock cultures of empathy, trust, purpose and innovation, and in so doing, spark our nation’s renewal.
Brandon's previous written works include two books on the subject of purpose and its implications for people, leaders, organizations and humanity, Planet on Purpose and Purpose Rising (co-authored).

He's also written two guidebooks on how to discover and activate one's purpose in life, The Purpose Field Guide and the Purpose Activation Blueprint (co-authored).

PAPERS

Brandon has also co-written papers on:

​Recent research from leading institutions, such as Harvard, Stanford, Cornell, NYU and UCLA (ScienceOfPurpose.org), has found that people who know their purpose experience greater:

SUCCESS: People who know their purpose have higher levels of income and wealth, making you 5 times more productive, 4 times more likely to be engaged at work and 63% more effective as a leader.

LOVE: People who know their purpose are regarded as more attractive, have better sex and are 31% more likely to be in love.

HAPPINESS: People who know their purpose are 64% more likely to be fulfilled at work.

VITALITY: People who know their purpose live up to 7 years longer, have better memory and cognition and are more likely to exercise.

The Purpose Field Guide (2019, KDP Press) is a step-by-step pathway to create this life. This pathway was articulated in Planet on Purpose by Brandon Peele (2018, Balboa Press / Hay House), which examined what purpose is, the case for purpose at the individual and societal levels, how you discover, embody and lead with it in your life and career and how to create a purposeful and flourishing planet.

As such, The Purpose Field Guide is a companion work to Planet on Purpose. It is a practical and accessible journey that brings your purpose alive, and moves it into your life and career. To grasp the power, potential and existential necessity of purpose, you are encouraged to listen to or read part one of Planet on Purpose prior to beginning the program (listen for free here), and listen to or read parts 2, 3 and 4 of the book upon completion.

The PURPOSE Activation Blueprint (2015, ManKind Project), co-authored with Chris Kyle

The PURPOSE Activation Blueprint identifies four essential elements to activating your purpose. These are:
  1. Create a mission statement - what you have to contribute to the world.
  2. Build a purpose team -  four or five people in your world, who can act as your counsel of support.
  3. Connect your sense of purpose to serving others. This is where your sense of mission and purpose grows legs and becomes activated, moving into unresolved problems in the world. 
  4. Put it into action - the principle of “imperfect action”, via a 30-60 day project that moves your purpose into action.
