Anatomy of a Breakthrough

Více o knize

This groundbreaking guide helps individuals break free from the thoughts, habits, jobs, relationships, and business models that hinder their potential. Many people experience feelings of being stuck, whether due to midlife crises, writer's block, unsatisfying jobs, or troubled friendships, often accompanied by anxiety, fear, and numbness. However, it doesn’t have to remain this way. The roadmap presented here provides a way to escape inertia and thrive amidst challenges. The author, Adam Alter, has dedicated two decades to studying how people become stuck and how they can liberate themselves. He introduces a process called a friction audit, which identifies the reasons behind stagnation and offers paths to progress. This audit focuses on overcoming three sources of HEART (unhelpful emotions), HEAD (unhelpful thought patterns), and HABIT (unhelpful behaviors). Despite the commonality of friction, there are many "unstickers" around us, and Alter shares inspiring stories to illustrate their lessons. These include a swimmer who won gold medals after overcoming obstacles, an actor who faced rejections before achieving fame, and a painter who had to relearn his craft. Through a blend of scientific research, anecdotes, and interviews, Alter emphasizes that getting stuck is a natural part of the journey to success, and with the right adjustments, anyone can achieve their highest aspirations.
