The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom, and Wonder
After collapsing from exhaustion, Huffington argues that money and power are only two metrics of success, and a life needs a third: well-being.
In 2007 Huffington collapsed from exhaustion, hit her head on her desk and woke in a pool of blood. That moment frames this book, in which she argues that the culture’s two metrics of success, money and power, have left people burned out and hollow. She proposes a third metric, well-being, built on four pillars: well-being, wisdom, wonder and giving. Part memoir, part manifesto, part practical guide, it became a touchstone for the anti-burnout movement and set the direction for the rest of her career.
