Synopsis
"This is the book I wish I had when I was starting out and even when I was knee-deep thinking success was the be-all and end-all." MARIA SHRIVER
The anti-hustle guide to getting what you want - without burning out
If you ever feel like your ambition comes at the cost of feeling exhausted - that no matter how hard you work, or what you achieve, it's never quite enough - welcome to the ambition trap.
Most of us think being ambitious means doing everything in our power to get ahead. But this approach doesn't work: it's bad for our health and makes it impossible to have the happiness and success we want.
Drawing on her work with Fortune 500 leaders, Olympic gold medallists and start-up founders, leadership coach Amina AlTai guides you to achieve more of what really matters. In doing so, she shares a new way to break the cycle of overwork and create the greatest, most joy-filled work of your life.
Her method is not about being complacent or giving up on your dreams. It's about anchoring your ambition to your purpose. She explains actionable strategies for aligning your work with your deepest 'why', setting a sustainable pace of growth, nourishing yourself in the long-term pursuit of your goals, and allowing contentment to lead the way.
Follow Amina's advice and you'll live your life with greater meaning and fulfilment.
