ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In Thrive, Arianna Huffington makes an impassioned and compelling case for the need to redefine what it means to be successful in today's world. 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. As the cofounder and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post Media Group -- one of the fastest growing media companies in the world -- celebrated as one of the world's most influential women, and 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 wondered is this really what success feels like?As more and more people are coming to realize, there is far more to living a truly successful life than just earning a bigger salary and capturing a corner office. Our relentless pursuit of the two traditional metrics of success -- money and power -- has led to an epidemic of burnout and stress-related illnesses, and an erosion in the quality of our relationships, family life, and, ironically, our careers. In being connected to the world 24/7, we're losing our connection to what truly matters. Our current definition of success is, as Thrive shows, literally killing us. We need a new way forward.

As more and more people are coming to realize, there is far more to living a truly successful life than just earning a bigger salary and capturing a corner office. Our relentless pursuit of the two traditional metrics of success--money and power--has led to an epidemic of burnout and stress-related illnesses, and an erosion in the quality of our relationships, family life, and, ironically, our careers. In being connected to the world 24/7, we're losing our connection to what truly matters. Our current definition of success is, as Thrive shows, literally killing us. We need a new way forward. In a commencement address Arianna gave at Smith College in the spring of 2013, she likened our drive for money and power to two legs of a three-legged stool. They 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--to truly thrive. That third metric, she writes in Thrive, includes our well-being, our ability to draw on our intuition and inner wisdom, our sense of wonder, and our capacity for compassion and giving. As Arianna points out, our eulogies celebrate our lives very differently from the way society defines success. They don't commemorate our long hours in the office, our promotions, or our sterling PowerPoint presentations as we relentlessly raced to climb up the career ladder. They are not about our resumes--they are about cherished memories, shared adventures, small kindnesses and acts of generosity, lifelong passions, and the things that made us laugh. In this deeply personal book, Arianna talks candidly about her own challenges with managing time and prioritizing the demands of a career and raising 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 workplace, and our lives.

Arianna Huffington er kendt for at have grundlagt og opbygget internetmediet Huffington Post, som hun nu er bestyrelsesformand for. Men i 2007 kollapsede hun og faldt om derhjemme på grund af overanstrengelse. Denne dramatiske hændelse fik hende til at stoppe op, genoverveje formålet med sin tilværelse – og skrive en bog om sine nye erkendelser.At leve – Arianna Huffingtons metode til succes: trivsel, visdom, forundring og gavmildhed (amerikansk: Thrive) er resultatet. Bogen har gået sin sejrsgang over hele den engelsksprogede verden, hvor den ved udgivelsen lå på bestsellerlisterne hos samtlige medier og boghandlere i månedsvis.Arianna Huffington, som er blevet kaldt en af verdens mest indflydelsesrige kvinder, blev af sit kollaps tvunget til at stoppe op – og erkendte, at hun ikke kunne fortsætte ad hverken samme spor eller i samme gear. Hun skriver selv, at den meget personlige bog handler om ”hvordan jeg på den hårde måde lærte at træde et skridt tilbage og undlade at være så fanget af mit travle liv, at jeg helt gik glip af selve livets mysterium.”Huffington gør i processen op med, at succes og penge er de eneste mål i livet. Mål, som hun tidligere styrede efter og vurderede højt. Hun kommer frem til fire nye pejlemærker: trivsel, visdom, forundring og gavmildhed. Og Arianna Huffington er en kvinde, der går all in. Hun ændrer sit liv.Bogen indeholder en lang række fine eksempler og fortællinger, der viser, hvordan Huffington og andre håndterer at forny pejlemærker og finde nye metoder og mål i livet – ligesom hun griber tilbage til de græske filosoffer (og sin græske baggrund) for at finde måder at efterleve de nye værdier på.
