The journey that you are about to begin leads you through a guided process that will transform the way that you experience your life and help you make the subtle shift from building walls to building bridges. We become imprisoned by the same emotional walls that were originally erected to protect us. It is time to trade in that false sense of security for the connection that we desperately crave. Embrace this opportunity to destroy the walls and seize control of your happiness by building bridges over which you can connect with genuine happiness. Decide to thrive!

Download or read book Thrive written by Arianna Huffington and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Thrive, Arianna Huffington makes an impassioned and compelling case for the need to redefine what it means to be successful in today's world. Arianna Huffington's personal wake-up call came in the form of a broken cheekbone and a nasty gash over her eye--the result of a fall brought on by exhaustion and lack of sleep. As the cofounder and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post Media Group--one of the fastest growing media companies in the world--celebrated as one of the world's most influential women, and gracing the covers of magazines, she was, by any traditional measure, extraordinarily successful. Yet as she found herself going from brain MRI to CAT scan to echocardiogram, to find out if there was any underlying medical problem beyond exhaustion, she wondered is this really what success feels like? As more and more people are coming to realize, there is far more to living a truly successful life than just earning a bigger salary and capturing a corner office. Our relentless pursuit of the two traditional metrics of success--money and power--has led to an epidemic of burnout and stress-related illnesses, and an erosion in the quality of our relationships, family life, and, ironically, our careers. In being connected to the world 24/7, we're losing our connection to what truly matters. Our current definition of success is, as Thrive shows, literally killing us. We need a new way forward. In a commencement address Arianna gave at Smith College in the spring of 2013, she likened our drive for money and power to two legs of a three-legged stool. They may hold us up temporarily, but sooner or later we're going to topple over. We need a third leg--a third metric for defining success--to truly thrive. That third metric, she writes in Thrive, includes our well-being, our ability to draw on our intuition and inner wisdom, our sense of wonder, and our capacity for compassion and giving. As Arianna points out, our eulogies celebrate our lives very differently from the way society defines success. They don't commemorate our long hours in the office, our promotions, or our sterling PowerPoint presentations as we relentlessly raced to climb up the career ladder. They are not about our resumes--they are about cherished memories, shared adventures, small kindnesses and acts of generosity, lifelong passions, and the things that made us laugh. In this deeply personal book, Arianna talks candidly about her own challenges with managing time and prioritizing the demands of a career and raising two daughters--of juggling business deadlines and family crises, a harried dance that led to her collapse and to her "aha moment." Drawing on the latest groundbreaking research and scientific findings in the fields of psychology, sports, sleep, and physiology that show the profound and transformative effects of meditation, mindfulness, unplugging, and giving, Arianna shows us the way to a revolution in our culture, our thinking, our workplace, and our lives.

Book excerpt: In Choose to THRIVE, Debbie Luxton, a retreat leader and life coach for professional women, as well as a John Maxwell Team, founding partner and certified leadership coach shares transparently about common struggles that plague high-achieving women. Women who have achieved successes in their lives but at some point, find themselves asking, "is this all there is?" Messages from the voices in our heads, media, and society, keep us in a place of trying to be all things to all people. These messages, combined with our strong desire to make a positive impact and add value to peoples lives keep the struggles of perfectionism and control alive and well. High-achieving women have so much to offer. But, their many strengths can also become their greatest weaknesses. Debbie steps out in courage, using personal stories to help women identify with their own struggles of perfectionism, masks, imposter-syndrome and more. Debbie understands the paradox of being a strong woman, yet the many fears that can be hidden deep within. Fears and inner conflicts that keep high-achieving women from living with true inner peace and joy; that which they long for the most. You will be challenged to look at many common characteristics of your high-achieving nature and apply actions to live your thriving life.

Fisher, JD, PCC Jory Fisher & Associates, Inc., Certified Master Christian Coach, Certified Business Coach & Startup Expert As a Business Consultant, I have seen firsthand the type of wonder woman Debbie is describing.

It's fun to listen to her real and raw life experiences as she weaves the power of spirit, motivation, and remedies into her teachings. Her fervor and love for the woman suffering in this role is genuine and life-changing. Lisa Frederickson Business Consultant, Focus Seven Consulting There were several things that really touched me in "Choose to THRIVE." Debbie's honesty in sharing her personal struggles because it can be hard to be honest with ourselves. Debbie talks about living by our own values and not the values of others, the importance of having a grateful heart, embracing authentic community to overcome our loneliness and the importance of self-care to bring about the transformation we are in need of. Just like my garden...if I want my plants to Thrive I must give them care. I must be aware of the temperature, water, humidity, nourishment, pests, etc. Why would we think that we as people would be any different? I highly recommend this book.

Download or read book Net Smart written by Howard Rheingold and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-03-16 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A media guru shows us how to use social media intelligently, humanely, and, above all, mindfully. Like it or not, knowing how to make use of online tools without being overloaded with too much information is an essential ingredient to personal success in the twenty-first century. But how can we use digital media so that they make us empowered participants rather than passive receivers, grounded, well-rounded people rather than multitasking basket cases? In Net Smart, cyberculture expert Howard Rheingold shows us how to use social media intelligently, humanely, and, above all, mindfully. Mindful use of digital media means thinking about what we are doing, cultivating an ongoing inner inquiry into how we want to spend our time. Rheingold outlines five fundamental digital literacies, online skills that will help us do this: attention, participation, collaboration, critical consumption of information (or "crap detection"), and network smarts. He explains how attention works, and how we can use our attention to focus on the tiny relevant portion of the incoming tsunami of information. He describes the quality of participation that empowers the best of the bloggers, netizens, tweeters, and other online community participants; he examines how successful online collaborative enterprises contribute new knowledge to the world in new ways; and he teaches us a lesson on networks and network building. Rheingold points out that there is a bigger social issue at work in digital literacy, one that goes beyond personal empowerment. If we combine our individual efforts wisely, it could produce a more thoughtful society: countless small acts like publishing a Web page or sharing a link could add up to a public good that enriches everybody.
