Description
Anatomy of a Breakthrough is a landmark new smart-thinking title that will help anyone optimise their mind to overcome the obstacles holding them back. It does for self-development what Atomic Habits did for behavioural hacking and Thinking Fast and Slow did for understanding ourselves.
Everyone, at some time, will go through episodes of simply being stuck, whether it's in our careers or relationships, our personal, professional, or artistic lives. We call this being 'stuck in a rut', 'having writer's block', or 'being frozen in place'.
This is not just harmful in the short-term but is often chronic, dangerous to our mental health and well-being, with severe consequences for our success and development.
Anatomy of a Breakthrough is the remedy to identifying and overcoming the 'friction points' holding us back. Adam Alter offers a brilliantly applicable new framework for not only getting 'unstuck' but also going on to thrive. Critically, he introduces us to the Friction Audit: a test to work out where our sticking points lie, categorised as existing in our Head, Heart, or Habits. Unstuck then takes us through a 5-step process to strive for more and to thrive.
Anatomy of a Breakthrough is the key for overcoming friction points and reaching our full potential.
