The Thriver's Edge: Seven Keys to Transform the Way You Live, Love, and Lead - Donna Stoneham
GoodReads First Read winner and a 5 star rating! I have had this book for a while and so glad I was motivated to read it recently. This book followed the motivational thread of “How to Win Friends and Influence People” and “Think and Grow Rich”. While those other books focused on learning how to build relationships with other people this book focused on building a relationship with yourself (maybe start with this book before you hope to the others??? Just a thought…).
This book really gets into the psychology of why we are afraid of our own success and how to overcome the fear in order to chase success. In order to thrive and be successful we need to trust ourselves and the people around us, be humble and suffer humility (good and bad) with our weaknesses and strengths, be resilient, have direction, have vision, be expansive and last but not least be responsible for our success. No one is going to care more about you and your personal success then yourself. Being a victim and having an alibi (if I had more money, if I had more time, maybe before my kids, maybe if I had kids, etc) will not get you on the road to thriving.
This book helps point out the “alibis” and walls we build around ourselves and then provides a workbook like guide at the end of the chapters to help overcome them. Another book to buy, read, markup and read again and again.
