I haven't necessarily tried purpose seeking self help. Although I did try a couple motivational interviewing books for goal setting and that "Designing your life workbook" where you essentially map out your life goals based on what you do most often and what brings you the most fulfilment. Because I like lists and logbooks and such. But I realized early on in working on these types of things that these books are for extreme cases. People who absolutely have no clue about themselves and their passions(like, you ask them what they want to do with their life and they just blank up and get lost) and they need to drag it out of themselves with guided, hyper detailed questionnaires.
I thought I'd find a way to refine my purpose or brainstorm a more concrete plan from the pieces I had. Turns out, both, the motivational interviewing and life mapping books simply took me back a few steps from where I already was, asking hundreds of questions I already had answers to. :/
