Beschreibungen

<p><b>Stop chasing happiness and seek fulfillment instead</b></p> <p><i>Strive</i> shakes up everything you know about happiness, turns you around, and sets you on the track to true fulfillment. It's not what you think—happiness is not found in achievement and luxury and having all the free time in the world. Humans are most fulfilled and feel best about themselves when they are striving towards a difficult goal that involves struggle and discomfort.</p> <p> Dr. Adam Fraser is a peak performance researcher who helps people strive for ’better’ in everything that they do; in this book, he shares his insights into the human condition and why happiness always feels just out of reach. Whether you're looking to boost workplace productivity, or just need the motivation to go about your daily life, this book will show you the little-known truths about happiness, purpose, and fulfillment.</p> <p>In working with groups from all around the world, Dr. Fraser has observed that the unhappiest and most unfulfilled people have low levels of struggle and challenge. Too much comfort robs them of a sense of purpose; they have nothing to strive for, because everything is fine the way it is. This book takes you inside the root of human motivation to show you how to live and work toward fulfillment.</p> <ul> <li>Grow and evolve through embracing discomfort</li> <li>Reframe struggle as an opportunity for development</li> <li>Learn the three behaviours of striving effectively</li> <li>Discover your motivation—and <i>use it</i></li> <li><i>Learn why you are most proud of overcoming the hard things in life</i></li> </ul> <p>When you're working toward a goal, you are engaged, motivated, and ready to take on the world. Once you achieve your goal, your happiness plummets—because nothing is left to strive for—unless you set your next goal right away. <i>Strive</i> provides the roadmap, and shows you how the joy is in the striving—not the destination.</p>

<p><b>DR ADAM FRASER</b> is a peak performance researcher who helps people strive to achieve better fulfilment in everything they do. He has worked with people from all walks of life, including elite athletes, the military and business leaders.
<p><b>Is happiness really the key to a meaningful and fulfilling life?</b> <p>We are all obsessed with happiness. There are thousands of books, presenters, and courses trying to teach us how to be happy.?? But are we more happy? No! We are the most depressed, anxious and medicated group of people in history. The happiness movement has failed us. <p><i>Strive</i> turns our ideas of happiness upside down and reveals why challenge, struggle and setbacks are the keys to living a profoundly satisfying life that fosters authentic happiness. Dr Adam Fraser shows that the practice of striving towards a goal is vital to achieving fulfilment and peak performance, without needing to sacrifice your relationships and physical and mental wellbeing along the way. <p>You'll find out: <ul> <li><b>Why</b> we are most proud of overcoming the hard things in life</li> <li><b>Why</b> gold medallists feel flat when they return home</li> <li><b>Why</b> rich kids and welfare kids face the same problems</li> <li><b>Why</b> we feel most alive when we are working towards a goal, not when we achieve it</li> <li><b>Why</b> trying to increase our happiness levels stops us from reaching our potential</li> <li><b>Why</b> having all your dreams come true will truly mess you up.</li> </ul> <p><i>Strive</i> is a must read for anyone who wants to transform their lives and find fulfilment, one struggle at a time.
