Thrive: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom, and Wonder by Arianna Huffington
3.0
Some self-help books are amazing. This one wasn't bad, but it didn't necessarily open my eyes to anything revolutionary.
Arianna Huffington is an impressive woman, and she writes well. She also has a lot of interesting stories and snippets of knowledge that keep this book engaging. She does a good job of using data and real-world information to make her case, and you walk away from the book convinced by her arguments. However, it doesn't exactly take a lot to convince me that meditating, asserting my right to work-life balance, and giving my time and money to worthy causes will improve my life. Perhaps I read this book at the wrong time—perhaps when it was new, it made points that were also new. But in 2017, I could have used more advice around how to actually execute her recommendations rather than more arguments that I should.
