Key Topics Amy Rowlinson00:03:0000:03:19 "Bound by Purpose: A Timeless Collaboration": "This is a cowritten book which spans generations. I wrote it with my grandfather, but he's no longer alive.

Amy Rowlinson00:12:0500:12:32 Finding Opportunity in Adversity: "There are always going to be obstacles in life. There are always going to be circumstances which are beyond our control, and that's one of the reasons I used my grandfather's story to share his journey because he was confined in captivity for 5 years as a prisoner of war. There were lots of things that he was unable to control, but what he could do was he was able to learn, study, build his skills up." Amy Rowlinson00:17:3000:17:34 The Power of Purpose: "It's not you you're not gonna get very far in life if you try and go alone."

Amy Rowlinson00:25:5500:26:16 Discovering Your Inner Self: "It's about stripping back the societal, cultural, familial influences that maybe you've taken on board. You've you've been brought up in those various paradigms, and you've taken them on, and you then realize that, actually, I don't need or I don't feel that that's how I want to live out my life." Amy Rowlinson00:29:3200:29:45 "Guardians of the Future": "This is about thinking, how am I being a guardian of the existing world, and how am I making it a better world for those who are gonna come behind me?" Amy Rowlinson00:30:2600:30:37 "Understanding Your Values: The clarity around understanding what you stand for and knowing your values is, I would say, the difference between day and night." Amy Rowlinson00:37:0200:37:05 "Creating Fulfilling Moments": "This is the big thing I want to say is that we can so easily just fill in the moments, but it's so much better when you create fulfilling moments."

Susan Heaton-Wright00:10:2200:10:29 "The Search for Purpose After Layoffs": "They feel they have no purpose because they felt their purpose was their job."
