Inhaltsangabe

How do you become highly successful—while living a fulfilling life and growing as a person?

Most ambitious people struggle in at least one of these areas, yet they feel they don’t have the tools to improve their situation. Return on Ambition is the culmination of an ambitious effort to harness insights from recent research in psychology and neuroscience to help people pursue their ambitions more fruitfully. The result is a radical and holistic approach to achievement, growth, and well-being that includes:

• The Return on Ambition Self-Assessment: instructive, clear measures of how well you are currently doing in getting the return you aspire to

• The Trinity of Achievement, Growth, and Well-Being: research and wisdom that show that compromises in any of these three elements will cause declines in the others over time

• The 7 Frenemies: descriptions of personal attributes that are your core strengths as an ambitious person, but that can also be the biggest obstacles to your success and fulfillment in life

• The Return on Ambition Toolbox: 4 tools that will help you articulate and pursue your ambition, expand your self-awareness, and help you learn consciously

• 4 Self-Coaching Sessions: instructions for 30–60-minute contemplations inspired by thought-provoking questions
