Thrive-How to Redifine the Meaning of Success

This book is a true testament to the things that we should really hold more value of in life, such as the little things (moments of joy). Knowing that if I sleep more, meditate more, and challenging myself to embrace the Third Metric of well-being, wisdom, wonder, and our capacity to give more gives me full hope in becoming a better person. I realize I have challenges and a lot to work on, but by starting to recognize the small moments live I will see more importance in self-care than any title, corner office, or six-figure salary I may ever have. The more time we devote to ourselves, without looking at or enhancing our resumes, we are that much closer to becoming at peace with ourselves. It is so important to be ourselves in a world that dares us to be more of the same, so this book really serves as a wake-up call as I hope to continue my plight to fight poverty with the right balance of self-care, including relaxation and stress relief. As a national service advocate who loved the Franklin Project and service references, I give this book 5 starts for providing opportunities to serve, unplug from our devices, and go out in the world to make a difference over a dollar!
