Early Praise
The rare book on purpose.
“Making Sense of Purpose is the rare book on purpose that honors how personal and nonlinear the search for meaning really is. Suneet Bhatt doesn’t hand you a tidy answer—he teaches you to ask better questions and trust the ones that are truly your own, guiding you through self-awareness, strengths, values, and flow with real warmth and a light scientific touch. Best of all, this book meets you exactly where you are, not where someone thinks you should be. I’ll be recommending it for a long time.”

Readers’ FavoriteWe show up to purpose conversations like we’re grocery shopping while hungry.
When we’re hungry, we reach for what fills us, without asking whether it nourishes us. And a fill never lasts. So we’re hungry again before we know it, reaching all over again.
This book is meant to nourish you. Making purpose, accessible and sustainable.

Hiya! I’m Suneet Bhatt.
Isn’t this the best picture? It’s my favorite. It has me and my kids, and the person who made it possible is behind the camera: my amazing wife.
For more than twenty-five years I’ve helped people and organizations get unstuck and move with purpose. I teach purpose and personal development at Rutgers. I coach founders, leaders, and teams through growth, change, and hard resets.
Here is what I keep seeing. The people who build something lasting start by understanding themselves. That is the work this book brings to the page.
For you. Because you deserve it.

The Purpose Radar Library
Not a score.
A map.
Most book ratings answer one question: did people like it? That doesn’t help you decide whether a book is right for you, right now. Two books can both be five stars and serve completely different needs — one challenges your assumptions, another gives you a repeatable system.
The Purpose Radar Library evaluates works across six dimensions — Inspirational, Transcendent, Empirical, Enduring, Interactive, and Reflective — so you can objectively compare and contrast what you’re considering. Not a verdict. A profile that meets you where you are.
