Thrive: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom, and Wonder by Arianna Huffington
3.0
If two metrics that define success are money and power, Arianna Huffington wants us to cultivate a third metric that encompasses living a healthy, balanced and meaningful life. In Thrive she shares how to do that. The book is broken down into sections on Well Being, Wisdom, Wonder and Giving, with a large Appendix of resources in the back.
For me, the most compelling section was her discussion on Well Being. This where she talks about the importance of self care, such as getting enough sleep and the power of meditation. While in 2018 this may not be as groundbreaking as when the book came out in 2014, there was still a lot to take away from here. I really appreciated the different examples of how some corporations are bucking the trend to encourage their employees to take better care of themselves.
There were nuggets of wisdom in each of the following sections, but there was a lot of jumping from example to example that impacted my overall enjoyment of the book.
Overall I think it is a worthwhile and quick read. If you are a manager or an entrepreneur I think this book may help you consider the culture you are setting in your organization.
