Thrive Book by Arianna Huffington

In Thrive by Arianna Huffington, she makes an impassioned and compelling case for the need to redefine what it means to succeed in today’s world.

Although she was co-founder and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post Media Group — one of the fastest-growing media companies globally — and celebrated as one of the world’s most influential women, Arianna was exhausted. She underwent brain MRIs, CAT scans and echocardiograms to find out if there was an underlying medical problem beyond being exhausted.

She then learned 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. To be successful, Huffington writes in her Thrive book that we must include our well-being, our ability to draw on our intuition and inner wisdom, our sense of wonder, and our capacity for compassion and giving.

In this deeply personal Thrive book, Arianna talks candidly about her challenges with managing time and prioritizing the demands of a career and raising two daughters — juggling business deadlines and family crises. This harried dance led to her collapse and her “aha moment.” Drawing on the latest groundbreaking research and scientific findings in the fields of psychology, sports, sleep, and physiology that shows the profound and transformative effects of meditation, mindfulness, unplugging, and giving, Arianna in Thrive shows us the way to a revolution in our culture, our thinking, our workplace, and our lives.
