An incisive, evidence-based guide to unlocking your full potential
If you feel overwhelmed, burned out, stuck, or constantly on edge, you may be trapped in survival mode. Life in this state becomes an endless cycle of reactivity, where you stay guarded against every perceived threat and shrink yourself to stay safe. It's draining, confining, and prevents you from fully thriving.
In A Guide to Thriving, you'll discover how reclaiming your agency can transform your life. Agency is our capacity to be active participants in our lives by making intentional choices, guided by the belief that our decisions matter and have impact.
This book offers a practical map with nine essential elements of personal growth to help you step into a thriving life. You'll learn to:
- Recognize when survival mode is in control.
- Break free from the limiting beliefs holding you back.
- Apply the science-backed AIR method (Awareness, Inquiry, Reframing) to create a life that feels expansive, connected, resilient, meaningful, and full of possibility.
You've spent long enough in survival mode. Let A Guide to Thriving empower you to make bold choices that help you, your team, your family, and your community thrive.
You're meant for more than just getting by. You're meant to thrive.
JON ROSEMBERG empowers leaders and organizations to break free from survival mode and step boldly into thriving. With over two decades coaching Fortune 500 executives, guiding global teams through transformations, and applying the techniques in this book, Jon believes that positive change begins by reclaiming our agency.
