Narrated by George Newbern—the iconic voice of Superman in Justice League and beloved star of Father of the Bride—this is an audiobook experience worth every minute. Newbern’s warm, commanding delivery is the perfect match for Tom Rath’s most urgent and personal work yet. Is everything you’ve been taught about fulfillment wrong? In What’s the Point?, #1 New York Times bestselling author Tom Rath — the mind behind StrengthsFinder 2.0, How Full Is Your Bucket?, and Eat Move Sleep — challenges the very foundation of how we think about meaningful work. Drawing on three decades of research and a life lived on borrowed time since a cancer diagnosis at age fifteen, Rath makes a liberating case: fulfillment doesn’t come from looking inside yourself. It comes from what you contribute to others. Your greatest daily superpower isn’t your title or personal brand — it’s your ability to make life better for someone else in ways no algorithm can replicate. You’ll discover: Why chasing passion can quietly hold you back How to stop searching for purpose and start building it every day How to make career decisions by asking who needs you most — not just what looks good on paper Why useful impact, not self-optimization, is your best defense against burnout This is not a feel-good pep talk. It’s a direct challenge to stop sleepwalking through your life. Start listening today.
