About this listen
Limitless will help you get "unstuck" - and achieve extraordinary results. This audiobook is like a high energy masterclass and brainstorming session all in one - with actionable tips to transform your vision for your career and do work with purpose.
What if success doesn't equal happiness?
Many of us spend our lives pursuing a singular idea of success, one that was created for us by someone else. We give votes to those who shouldn't even have voices and strive to go faster and faster even as we find ourselves falling further and further behind. We chase gold stars, we check all the boxes, we lean in - and we still feel incomplete.
This is not a story about failure, but it might as well be. When we don't define success in our own terms, finding our purpose, and carving our own path becomes impossible. How do you break the cycle so that you can be better at work and life?
In this audiobook, Laura Gassner Otting teaches you how to ignore the rules that created your limits, align your energies and your actions, and do work that really matters so that you can live your best life. Often described as "a kick in the ass surrounded by a warm hug", Laura brings both tough love and wisdom and offers a no-holds-barred look at what it really takes to get out of your own way and earn your success today.
If you ever dreamed about discovering and crushing that personal goal that is so big and so scary that you've only dared whisper it to yourself, this audiobook is the permission you didn't even know you needed to live into it as only you can.

Story
We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.

There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life’s big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with listeners, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

Positive message
A typical "self-care" book. from somebody currently in counseling and actively working to be happier, this book leaves a lot of blanks. It's positive that time is referenced, because change definitely takes time. for someone reading this and not having a second support, like counseling, it's almost a moot point.

Don’t limit purpose in your work
As I was listening to this book, I just kept thinking yes yes yes
I believe that business is the greatest untapped, vertical for personal purpose and fulfillment.
This book checked all the marks and then some around the idea of where are you getting your purpose and performance from.
Thank you Laura for putting this out in the world
I definitely recommend this book, especially if you’re earlier on in your career or wanting a change.

As someone who has already read (and loves) the book, this audiobook brings it to life in a whole different way... It actually compliments the physical book. The author’s tone, cadence and voice reemphasizes intention and focus where she had intended for it to be. Highly recommend!
