Find your dharma--your inner calling--and learn to integrate ambition, work, and wellbeing to create a balanced, joyous life with this practical, life-changing guide from the beloved speaker, bestselling author, and co-founder of the Gross National Happiness Center. We've been conditioned, from an early age, to believe that one day we'll reach a moment of "arrival." But no matter how much we achieve or acquire we still don't feel as satisfied or as fulfilled as we thought we would be. Exhausted, we become burned out and cynical, questioning the purpose of it all. An expert on happiness and work, Suneel Gupta argues that for too long society has been fixated on the Future of Work and ignored the Future of Worth. We've compartmentalized work and well-being and ignored the fact that both are essential for sustained success. We've assumed that outer success leads to inner well-being-despite history showing us that this has never been the case. In Everyday Dharma, Suneel helps us break this negative cycle. A captivating storyteller, he weaves personal stories, history, science, Eastern philosophy, and Western modalities in this engaging, enlightening, and prescriptive book. He begins by helping us identify our dharma, the essence of who we are. When you're in your Dharma, you feel confident, creative, and caring, with a sense of purpose, and that shines through your life and work. Everyday Dharma provides an accessible three-step approach to discovering, understanding, and living your "sacred calling." At its center are self-assessments to help you identify your passions and powerful rituals for building new habits--ancient practices supported by science and found in diverse cultural sources, including Toni Morrison's novels, Jimi Hendrix's lyrics, and Frida Kahlo's paintings, and used by the likes of Nelson Mandela, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Mahatma Gandhi. Finding your dharma empowers you to let go of anxiety, follow your wildest ambitions, produce your life's work, and experience true joy.

Backable: The surprising truth behind what makes people take a chance on you

A groundbreaking book that boldly claims the key to success is not talent, connections, or ideas, but the ability to persuade people to take a chance on your potential. &nbsp; "The most exceptional people aren't just brilliant...they're backable." --Daniel Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of When, Drive&nbsp; and To Sell is Human &nbsp; No one makes it alone. But there's a reason some people can get investors or bosses to believe in them while others cannot. And that reason has little to do with experience, pedigree, or a polished business plan. Backable people seem to have a hidden quality that inspires others to take action. We often chalk this up to natural talent or charisma...either you have "it" or you don't. After getting rejected by every investor he pitched, Suneel Gupta had a burning question: Could "it" be learned? Drawing lessons from hundreds of the world's biggest thinkers, Gupta discovered how to pitch new ideas in a way that has raised millions of dollars, influenced large-scale change inside massive corporations, and even convinced his eight-year-old daughter to clean her room. Inside Backable are long-held secrets from producers of Oscar-winning films, members of Congress, military leaders, culinary stars, venture capitalists, founders of unicorn-status startups, and executives at iconic companies like Lego, Method, and Pixar. Backable reveals how the key to success is not charisma, connections, or even your résumé, but rather your ability to persuade others to take a chance on you. This original book will show you how.
