Live the life you want， not the life you settle for。
Helping people build healthy new habits that improve their lives is more important than ever。 Arianna Huffington launched Thrive Global to do just that--Thrive's specific mission is to end the epidemic of stress and burnout and help individuals and companies unlock their greatest potential。 Science continues to show that we don't have to sacrifice our well-being in order to succeed; in fact， it turns out that well-being is critical to peak performance。 Learning to thrive means:
Moving from awareness to action - from knowing what to do to actually doing it
Embracing solutions that appeal to wisdom， wonder， intuition， reflection， and are steeped in science
Taking the time to rest and recover in order to fuel and maximize productivity， both personal and professional
Making the mindset shifts and habit changes that supercharge performance in ways that truly matter to us
Eschewing trendy self-care fixes or the latest health fads， Your Time to Thrive is the revolutionary guide to living and working based on Microsteps--tiny， science-backed changes。 By making them too-small-to fail， we can incorporate them into our daily lives right away， and begin building healthier ways of living and working。 This book is a Microstep bible。 With chapters dedicated to sleep， nutrition， movement， focus and prioritization， communication and relationships， unplugging and recharging， creativity and inspiration， and purpose/meaning， Your Time to Thrive shares practical， usable， research-supported mini-habits that will yield huge benefits and empower people to truly thrive in all parts of their lives。

Absolutely loved Your Time to Thrive！ The idea of changing our whole lives especially during a pandemic is frankly impossible and this had great – and realistic – strategies to improve different areas of my life – like sleep， being less connected to my phone and being a bit more active！ Going to gift this book to others too！

Other than the information specifically about the company Thrive， there were some solid steps for improving ones life。 I took notes in the section about thriving at work。 Some good info there！

A book that is chock-full of suggestions， ideas and introduces the concept of "micro-steps" - small little changes that will incrementally improve your life。 The topics are diverse and cover 8 meaningful life areas: 1） Sleep; 2） Unplugging & Recharging; 3） Nutrition and Hydration; 4） Movement; 5） Focus and Prioritization; 6） Communication and Relationships; 7） Creativity and Inspiration; and 8） Purpose and Meaning。I particularly loved how various stars/business leaders/social figures offer the a A book that is chock-full of suggestions， ideas and introduces the concept of "micro-steps" - small little changes that will incrementally improve your life。 The topics are diverse and cover 8 meaningful life areas: 1） Sleep; 2） Unplugging & Recharging; 3） Nutrition and Hydration; 4） Movement; 5） Focus and Prioritization; 6） Communication and Relationships; 7） Creativity and Inspiration; and 8） Purpose and Meaning。I particularly loved how various stars/business leaders/social figures offer the advice they use in one or more of the areas of the book。This book is meant to be read and re-read at a later date where you will discover the areas that are speaking to you at that time。 Definitely a five-star read for me。Thank you to the Hachette Book for an advance copy to review。 This is my honest opinion and is not impacted in anyway by reading the preview。 。。。more

Nothing new or innovative here。 Topics receive shallow coverage with lame celebrity pull quotes。 Reads like a bunch of 1990s Cosmopolitan magazine articles bound into a book。

What a resource！ Your Time To Thrive is a helpful and straightforward guide that goes beyond the typical self-help book。 Focusing on the importance of taking Microsteps to change habits or start new ones is an effective approach。 I stopped making New Year’s resolutions several years ago because they always felt unattainable or I would be hard on myself for not exceeding my goals for the year。Marina Khidekel and the editors of Thrive Global， including Arianna Huffington， describe Microsteps in th What a resource！ Your Time To Thrive is a helpful and straightforward guide that goes beyond the typical self-help book。 Focusing on the importance of taking Microsteps to change habits or start new ones is an effective approach。 I stopped making New Year’s resolutions several years ago because they always felt unattainable or I would be hard on myself for not exceeding my goals for the year。Marina Khidekel and the editors of Thrive Global， including Arianna Huffington， describe Microsteps in the areas of sleep， unplugging and recharging， communication， and creativity， to name a few。I’ve decided to start a Microsteps diary to focus on habits I want to change。 This book is a resource I’ll be returning to again and again。My only minor critique is relatability for some of the advice。 There is a certain level of economic privilege from some of the celebrities and entrepreneurs that I couldn’t grasp。 （As an example regarding a piece of advice from the sleep chapter， I don’t know many stay-at-home parents of toddlers who can take a midday nap）。 But overall， the structure of the book is accessible with key Microsteps listed and explained at the end of each chapter。 What I loved: It’s a quick read packed with informative data from studies， inspirational quotes from philosophers， and questions for reflection。 I also loved the emphasis on meditation and its importance in unlocking one’s full potential。 I also greatly appreciated the inclusion of the pandemic and the impact it’s having on all of us and ways we can continue to thrive together。 Reminders of our interconnectedness are crucial during troubling times。Thank you to Hachette Go and Hachette Books for the gifted copy。 Look for my Instagram post （and a giveaway） on publication day 3/23。 。。。more

This book provides a consolidated view of traditional concepts to break the hold that electronics， especially cell phones have on our life。 As we have evolved as a society we’ve become more reliant on technology to remain connected to work， family and friends。 If not managed properly with a healthy balance， the scales become unbalanced and the unfortunate side effects include sadness， frustration and an overwhelming feeling of overburden with no time for oneself。 The micro steps help to manage e This book provides a consolidated view of traditional concepts to break the hold that electronics， especially cell phones have on our life。 As we have evolved as a society we’ve become more reliant on technology to remain connected to work， family and friends。 If not managed properly with a healthy balance， the scales become unbalanced and the unfortunate side effects include sadness， frustration and an overwhelming feeling of overburden with no time for oneself。 The micro steps help to manage expectations and help take back control of what’s important in our lives。 Through self reflection， meditation and other techniques we gain peace within our daily lives and recalibrate focus on our main drivers towards achieving balance and happiness。 I especially enjoyed the recap at the end of each chapter。 The questions presented to the reader intend to allow for reflection and their application where applicable。 I will be recommending this book for consideration at my next book club session。 。。。more

Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。This is a middle of the road self help book- simple， easy to follow “micro- steps” to help you change your life- get more sleep， eat better， put down technology and live a more fulfilling life。 On the plus side- the books organization made it easy to skim and say- “not my problem” （ eg， I already keep work stuff off my personal phone- so Im not working 24/7） ， and move on to the next section。 Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。This is a middle of the road self help book- simple， easy to follow “micro- steps” to help you change your life- get more sleep， eat better， put down technology and live a more fulfilling life。 On the plus side- the books organization made it easy to skim and say- “not my problem” （ eg， I already keep work stuff off my personal phone- so Im not working 24/7） ， and move on to the next section。The micro steps were also a interesting concept- rather than make dramatic changes- make small changes， see success， then make another small change， it all adds up。 For example if - eg think of 3 things I am grateful for- before I pick up my cell phone， I will have a better day。 Then， maybe start writing in a journal for a few minutes each night， leading to a change of mindset。 All very do-able。I was however annoyed by the endless quotes from celebrities telling us how they “ figured it out”。 Personally， （ and I know others feel differently） I am turned off by “influencers” and try to avoid them as often as possible。 So I could have done without quotes from Katy Perry， Hoda Kotab， or Tiffany Shlain， filmmaker and author。 “Ugh Im so busy making millions， I just don’t have time for a life， until I started journaling， meditating， taking naps， etc“。 These are fortunately interspersed with actual scientific and psychological research， so I skimmed forward to those。 There really was nothing was nothing earth shattering in this book-the last 25% of the book is citing references of the info （ ie the original sources， many from “ Thrive 。org”）， just lots of common sense stuff， all pulled together for you and neatly organized in bite size chunks。 All that said- would I recommend the book？ The answer is “Yes！” - if you can find one idea， one micro step- it could change your life， or at a minimum make you a tiny bit happier with it。 Worth a try。 。。。more
