Summary

'Helps you keep achieving - and find peace and happiness in the process' Amy Edmondson

We are living an earned life when the choices, risks, and effort we make in each moment align with an overarching purpose in our lives, regardless of the eventual outcome。

In his most personal and powerful work to date, world-renowned leadership coach Marshall Goldsmith offers a better way to approach fulfilment that goes against everything we're taught about achievement。 Taking inspiration from Buddhism, Goldsmith reveals that the key to living the earned life, unbound by regret, requires connecting the habit of earning rewards to something greater than our personal successes。

Goldsmith implores readers to avoid the Great Western Disease of "I'll be happy when。。。。" He offers practical advice and exercises aimed at helping us shed the obstacles that prevent us from creating fulfilling lives。 From learning to privilege your future over your present, knowing how to weigh up opportunity and risk accurately, honing your 'one-trick genius' and needing to earn credibility twice, the book is packed with transformative insights and tools that will help readers close the gap between what they plan to achieve and what they actually get done-and avoid the trap of existential regret, the kind that reroutes destinies and persecutes our memories。

Full of illuminating stories from Goldsmith's legendary career as a coach to some of the world's highest-achieving leaders and reflections on his own life, The Earned Life is a roadmap for ambitious people seeking a higher purpose。

'Inspiring insight from the world's top coach。 Goldsmith left me tingling from the journey of reflection I'd been taken on' Bruce Daisley

Earned life。。。 and a well-earned 5-star reviewAnyone who ever read a Marshall Goldsmith book would know that he is a capable storyteller。 The first good news: his skills didn't fade with time。 The second one: this book is about regret - but it is also not about it。 Yes, a lot talked about regret in the first 50 pages, but soon this narrow topic is dropped for a more general view about how to avoid it in the first place, how to live without it and how to live a life with positive aims instead of Earned life。。。 and a well-earned 5-star reviewAnyone who ever read a Marshall Goldsmith book would know that he is a capable storyteller。 The first good news: his skills didn't fade with time。 The second one: this book is about regret - but it is also not about it。 Yes, a lot talked about regret in the first 50 pages, but soon this narrow topic is dropped for a more general view about how to avoid it in the first place, how to live without it and how to live a life with positive aims instead of being afraid of failing/regretting。 And it is exactly what such a book shall be about。 The third one: this book can have positive effects in two ways: the stories and the conclusions drawn from them as well as the exercises included here and there。 Just an idea: don't skip them。Yes, we readers can always find some parts problematic or "not for all"。 Buddha may not be a personal hero of everyone, especially in the circle of Anglo-Saxon readership。 You may not accept immediate that you are a new person with every breath you take。 There are a lot of stories in the book where the author himself plays a smaller or larger role。 But even these parts are not for their own sake, they serve higher purposes: moral, motivation, teaching at the costs of others (especially that of the author)。 You can translate them to your own language for your own good - no need to take them literally。So, if you have a lot to regret or you would like to avoid them in the future, you may find this book an asset, not a financial burden。 。。。more
