Miserable work ruins lives
The average person spends 90,000 hours - one third of their life - working. If you spend a third of your life in misery, it's unlikely the other two thirds will be joyful.
Miserable work also has a negative impact on your health and the health of people around you. People dissatisfied with their careers are more likely to:
- experience exhaustion, burnout and stress;
- develop diseases such as cancer, heart disease and Type 2 diabetes;
- have children with mental health problems such as anxiety, depression and ADHD.

What Is Purpose Lab?
Purpose Lab is a self-paced online career planning and self-discovery program.
Built around 12 core principles and a framework called The Donnellan Method, Purpose Lab guides you to learn from your Past, make peace with the Present, and dream about possibilities for your Future.
As you work through the modules, you will read content and watch videos of creator Laurel Donnellan as she explains each of the Principles.
You will also complete journaling, visualizations and self-reflection exercises to apply the 12 principles and generate personal insights about your own life and career.
One client describes the program as: "A unique combination of spiritual and pragmatic. The self-discovery process is gentle, but it also helped me make real progress every week."
