A revelatory book on rethinking change and creating a rugged and flexible mindset amidst life's intensifying flux, from expert on sustainable excellence, coach, and bestselling author of&nbsp;The Practice of Groundedness. From social disruptions like economic recessions, pandemics, and new technologies to individual disruptions like getting married, career transitions, and becoming a parent, we undergo change and transformation--both good and bad--regularly. Change is not the exception, it's the rule. Yet we endlessly fight it, often viewing it as a threat to our stability and sense of self. Master of Change flips this script on its head and offers a path for embracing and even growing from life's constant instability. Brad Stulberg, sustainable excellence expert, coach, and bestselling author of The Practice of Groundedness, offers a new model that describes change as an ongoing cycle of order, disorder, and reorder--yes, we return to stability, but that stability is somewhere new. Drawing on modern science, ancient wisdom, and daily practice, Stulberg offers concrete principles for developing a mindset called rugged flexibility, along with habits and practices to implement it. Along the way, Stulberg reveals: <ul> <li>How to be in conversation with change instead of it happening to you.</li> <li>The importance of expectations</li> <li>Why cultivating a rugged yet flexible sense of self is key to a strong identity.</li> <li>How to take productive action during a challenge.</li> <li>The paradox of both making meaning and moving forward.</li> </ul> In the end, Stulberg reshapes our entire perception of change and shows us how to grow in its midst--ultimately helping us move forward better, stronger, and wiser than we were before.

Product Description \n"A thoughtful, actionable book for pursuing more excellence with less angst." 
--Adam Grant, bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife\n"Ambitious, far-reaching, and impactful -- David Epstein, bestselling author of Range\n"This book taps into something that so many of us feel but can't articulate." --Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO, Thrive GlobalFrom the bestselling author of Peak Performance comes a powerful antidote to heroic individualism and the ensuing epidemic of burnout.\nAchievement often comes at a cost. Angst, restlessness, frayed relationships, exhaustion, and even substance abuse can be the unwanted side effects of an obsession with outward performance. While the high of occasional wins can keep you going for a while, playing into the always-on, never enough hustle culture ultimately takes a serious toll.\nIn 
The Practice of Groundedness, bestselling author Brad Stulberg shares a healthier, more sustainable model for success. At the heart of this model is 
groundedness--a practice that values 
presence over rote productivity, accepts that 
progress is nonlinear, and prioritizes 
long-term values and fulfillment over short-term gain. To be grounded is to possess a firm and unwavering foundation, a resolute sense of self from which deep and enduring, not shallow and superficial, success can be found. Groundedness does not eliminate ambition and striving; rather, it situates these qualities and channels them in more meaningful ways.\nInterweaving case studies, modern science, and time-honored lessons from ancient wisdom traditions such as Buddhism, Stoicism, and Taoism, Stulberg teaches readers how to cultivate the habits and practices of a more grounded life. Readers will learn:\n* Why patience is the key to getting where you want to go faster--in work and life--and how to develop it, pushing back against the culture's misguided obsession with speed and "hacks."\n* How to utilize the lens of the wise observer in order to overcome delusion and resistance to clearly see and accept where you are—which is the key to more effectively getting where you want to go\n* Why embracing vulnerability is the key to genuine strength and confidence\n* The critical importance of "deep community," or cultivating a sense of belonging and connection to people, places, and causes.\nProvocative and practical, 
The Practice of Groundedness is the necessary corrective to the frenetic pace and endemic burnout resulting from contemporary definitions of success. It offers a new—and better—way.\nReview 
Praise for The Practice of Groundedness:\n“This book gets to the heart of the matter.”\n--Ryan Holiday, New York Times bestselling author of Stillness Is the Key and Ego Is the Enemy\n"If you ever feel like your own life and the wider world are swirling out of control, you need this book.”\n--Daniel H. Pink, author of When, Drive, and To Sell Is Human\n“Ambitious, far-reaching, and impactful. Stulberg is the writer I turn to for examinations of success in all of its personal and professional complexities.”\n--David Epstein, New York Times bestselling author of Range and The Sports Gene\n“This book taps into something that so many of us feel but can’t articulate.”\n--Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO, Thrive Global\n“A thoughtful, actionable book for pursuing more excellence with less angst."\n--Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife\n“A valuable guide on going from heroic individualism to a more sustainable, long-term vision of success."\n--Scott Galloway, New York Times bestselling author of The Four and Post Corona\n“A crucial alternative for those of us exhausted by soulless exhortations to crush it, and looking for a deeper approach to building a successful life.”\n--Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author of Digital Minimalism and Deep Work\n“Exactly what we

"Should we throw everything to the wind and follow our passions? Or should we strive for balance and let our passions cool? This book offers the surprising, nuanced, and research-backed answer." - Daniel H. Pink, Bestselling author of When and Drive. "I feel like this book was written for me. I had to resist underlining every sentence."- Shalane Flanagan. New York City Marathon Champion, Four-Time Olympian, and New York Times bestselling author. The coauthors of the bestselling Peak Performance dive into the fascinating science behind passion, showing how it can lead to a rich and meaningful life while also illuminating the ways in which it is a double-edged sword. Here's how to cultivate a passion that will take you to great heights--while minimizing the risk of an equally great fall. Common advice is to find and follow your passion. A life of passion is a good life, or so we are told. But it's not that simple. Rarely is passion something that you just stumble upon, and the same drive that fuels breakthroughs--whether they're athletic, scientific, entrepreneurial, or artistic--can be every bit as destructive as it is productive. Yes, passion can be a wonderful gift, but only if you know how to channel it. If you're not careful, passion can become an awful curse, leading to endless seeking,suffering, and burnout. Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness once again team up, this time to demystify passion, showing readers how they can find and cultivate their passion, sustainably harness its power, and avoid its dangers. They ultimately argue that passion and balance--that other virtue touted by our culture--are incompatible, and that to find your passion, you must lose balance. And that's not always a bad thing. They show readers how to develop the right kind of passion, the kind that lets you achieve great things without ruining your life. Swift, compact, and powerful, this thought-provoking book combines captivating stories of extraordinarily passionate individuals with the latest science on the biological and psychological factors that give rise to--and every bit as important, sustain--passion.
