Thrive
by Arianna Huffington
Huffington's 'third metric' of success beyond money and power: well-being, wisdom, wonder and giving, prompted by collapsing from exhaustion. It mixes research, memoir and aphorism and is sometimes diffuse, but its challenge to the burnout definition of success resonated widely and remains apt.
Read it if…
you are succeeding by every external measure and feel depleted.
Skip it if…
you want a system; it is an argument with anecdotes.
Three things you will actually use
- Redefine success before it defines you.
- Rest and wonder are productive.
- Giving is part of thriving.
Do this first
Define success for yourself in one paragraph that includes health and relationships.
Our verdict
Diffuse but timely.
