About this listen
Arianna Huffington's personal wakeup call came in the form of a broken cheekbone and a nasty gash over her eye - the result of a fall brought on by exhaustion and lack of sleep. The co-founder and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post, one of the fastest growing media companies in the world, celebrated as one of the world's most influential women, gracing the covers of magazines, she was, by any traditional measure, extraordinarily successful. Yet as she found herself going from brain MRI to CAT scan to echocardiogram, to find out if there was any underlying medical problem beyond exhaustion, she found herself wondering, is this really what success feels like?
In Thrive, she has written a passionate call to arms, looking to redefine what it means to be successful in today's world. In a commencement address she gave at Smith College in the spring of 2013, Arianna likened our drive for money and power to two legs of a three-legged stool. It may hold us up temporarily, but sooner or later we're going to topple over. We need a third leg - a Third Metric for defining success. In this deeply personal book, Arianna talks candidly about her own challenges with managing time and prioritizing the demands of a career and two daughters - of juggling business deadlines and family crises, a harried dance that led to her collapse - and to her "aha moment". Drawing on the latest groundbreaking research and scientific findings in the fields of psychology, sports, sleep, and physiology that show the profound and transformative effects of meditation, mindfulness, unplugging, and giving, Arianna shows us the way to a revolution in our culture, our thinking, our workplaces, and our lives.

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.

Julia Boorstin was thirteen when her mother told her that, by the time she grew up, women could be just as powerful as men, “captains of industry, running the biggest companies!” A decade later, working at a top business publication and seeing the dearth of women in positions of leadership, Boorstin assumed her mom had been wrong. But over the following two decades as a TV reporter and creator of CNBC’s Disruptor 50 franchise, interviewing, and studying thousands of executives, she realized that a gender-equity utopia shouldn’t be a pipe dream.

Whether you're a Fortune 500 CEO or busy stay-at-home mom, the secret to being more effective and living a happier, healthier life is to hurry up and slow down, or unplug. As Anne Lamott said, "Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you." Contrary to what every Type-A person thinks, studies show that you can actually be more effective by doing less, by unplugging from the chaos of your life for just minutes a day.

Story
In Do Nothing, award-winning journalist Celeste Headlee illuminates a new path ahead, seeking to institute a global shift in our thinking so we can stop sabotaging our well-being, put work aside, and start living instead of doing. As it turns out, we’re searching for external solutions to an internal problem. We won’t find what we’re searching for in punishing diets, productivity apps, or the latest self-improvement schemes. Yet all is not lost - we just need to learn how to take time for ourselves, without agenda or profit, and redefine what is truly worthwhile.

Achievement often comes at a cost. Angst, restlessness, frayed relationships, exhaustion, and even substance abuse can be the unwanted side effects of an obsession with outward performance. While the high of occasional wins can keep you going for a while, playing into the always-on, never enough hustle culture ultimately takes a serious toll.

But in the midst of chaos, we can find balance, peace, and wisdom, Easwaran says, if we learn to steady our minds. It’s a simple idea, but one that runs deep - a truly calm mind can weather any storm.

How would you like to be calmer, less distracted, more productive, and more content at your job? You might think it would take more hours in the day, a better boss, more support, less interference, a shorter commute - and the list goes on. Most of the things we think would help are either not in our control or simply not realistic. But there is one thing we can do to achieve the qualities we seek, and it can be done invisibly and often: meditation.

Having a lot of different interests, projects and curiosities doesn't make you a "jack-of-all-trades, master of none". Your endless curiosity doesn't mean you are broken or flaky.

Pleasantly Surprised - HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Highly.
Would you listen to Thrive again? Why?
Absolutely. The truths shared were so vast and varied, there is simply no way to take it all in one time through.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Thrive?
The multiple personal shares from the author's own experiences and "aha!" moments that lead her to write this.
What does Agapi Stassinopoulos bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The tone and sound of the author's native tongue.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely.
Any additional comments?
I am not a liberal in political terms - and because of this, I believe I had a predisposition to pass over this book, had I not heard wonderful things about it from multiple sources. I was thoroughly shamed in that I would have missed such a treasure had I held to this rigid mindset.

Couldn't Get Past the Accent
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I purchased because the story was interesting to me. I will stick to buying Biographies that are narrated by the AUTHOR ONLY!
Would you ever listen to anything by Arianna Huffington again?
Only if she is the narrator.
What aspect of Agapi Stassinopoulos’s performance would you have changed?
Her accent and her pace when speaking. Was just too hard to follow for me. And I am very good usually with accents. This one I just couldn't get past.

Important lessons to be learned here
I learned a lot from this book. Clearly the author did a ton of research, and most of her book is quoting studies and other authors. I came away more able to prioritize what's really important in my life, and I believe we all could use a reminder of this periodically. She lost my interest when she got into the universe having a design and that there's no such thing as coincidence. I guess I'm too much the scientist to buy that.
For sure if you are someone who's addicted to your phone or social media, you will benefit from this book. She has great suggestions for how to unplug from the digital world in order to get your focus back to real life.

Good book but terrible audio
Even though this is a very interesting book I didn’t enjoy the reader and found her voice and tone annoying

A book for our time
Arianna Huffington has written a book that answers the fundamental thought we all have. There must be a better way. If our success can strip us of our humanity, is that truly success? Yes, there is a better way and Arianna's book Thrive is here to guide us.

great read for busy working moms
Would you be willing to try another one of Agapi Stassinopoulos’s performances?
i understand that they needed to portray the writer as best as possible by fining someone that sounds like the author , this time i wish they didn't coz accent was rather annoying, as much as i liked reading the book often i was irritated
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
you can really as its a long read
Any additional comments?
i like the book over all , only two comments i have one being the accent of the narrater and long windedness of the writer , although points author makes are simple enough to understand she over articulates and keeps on articulating which at times get boring and you want her to move on already

Meditate, sleep more and walk
That’s it in a nutshell. Wouldn’t recommend. I do appreciate that she had very simple suggestions. I tried a few recommendations she had for simple ways to change up my habits - deep breathing more often, a website for volunteering, and calling my mom more often.

80% Not Original Content
Most of her book contains quotes from other people, as if she was still writing for the Huffington Post. The quotes are good but they aren't accredited to her + it feels plagiarized because of the amount of content that isn't hers. Otherwise, it's nice that it talks about prioritizing yourself instead of work. If you need a reminder of that, this is a good book.
