#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? Arianna Huffington's impassioned and compelling case for the need to redefine what it means to be successful in today's world -- now in a 10th anniversary edition featuring a new preface

"A captivating look at what it takes to live a more meaningful, satisfying life. Brimming with passion, supported by science, and crowned with practical insights, Arianna Huffington's exceptional book will transform our workplaces, schools, and families." -- Adam Grant, bestselling author of Think Again

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. The cofounder and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post Media Group -- which became one of the fastest growing media companies in the world -- and celebrated as one of the world's most influential women, 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 is like?

In the past decade, and especially in today's post-pandemic world, people are realizing there is far more to living a truly successful life than just earning a bigger salary and climbing the career ladder. Our relentless pursuit of the two traditional metrics of success -- money and power -- has led to an epidemic of burnout and illness, and an erosion in the quality of our relationships, our family life, and, ironically, our careers. In being connected to the world 24/7, we're losing our connection to what truly matters. We need a new way forward.

In Thrive, Huffington has written a passionate call to arms, as timely today as it was when it was first published more than ten years ago, looking to redefine what it means to be successful in today's world. Huffington likens our drive for money and power to two legs of a three-legged stool. It 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. In this deeply personal book, Huffington talks candidly about her own challenges with managing time and prioritizing the demands of a career and a family, the 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, neuroscience, and physiology that show the transformative effects of our five foundational daily behaviors -- sleep, food, movement, stress management, and connection -- Huffington shows us the way to a revolution in our culture, our thinking, our workplaces, and our lives.
