Arianna Huffington's personal wakeup call came in the form of a broken cheekbone and a nasty gash over her eye - the result of a fall brought on by exhaustion and lack of sleep. The co-founder and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post, one of the fastest growing media companies in the world, celebrated as one of the world's most influential women, gracing the covers of magazines, she was, by any traditional measure, extraordinarily successful. Yet as she found herself going from brain MRI to CAT scan to echocardiogram, to find out if there was any underlying medical problem beyond exhaustion, she found herself wondering, is this really what success feels like?
In Thrive, she has written a passionate call to arms, looking to redefine what it means to be successful in today's world. In a commencement address she gave at Smith College in the spring of 2013, Arianna likened our drive for money and power to two legs of a three-legged stool. It may hold us up temporarily, but sooner or later we're going to topple over. We need a third leg - a Third Metric for defining success. In this deeply personal book, Arianna talks candidly about her own challenges with managing time and prioritizing the demands of a career and two daughters - of juggling business deadlines and family crises, a harried dance that led to her collapse - and to her "aha moment". Drawing on the latest groundbreaking research and scientific findings in the fields of psychology, sports, sleep, and physiology that show the profound and transformative effects of meditation, mindfulness, unplugging, and giving, Arianna shows us the way to a revolution in our culture, our thinking, our workplaces, and our lives.

Finding Your Flow: From Survive to Thrive by Lisa Niver Rajna (Jewish Journal: [...])
In Arianna Huffington’s new book, Thrive, she asks: “What is a good life?”
How do you find a flow to move from simply surviving to loving every minute of your life and thriving?
Huffington says: “To live the lives we truly want and deserve, and not just the lives we settle for, we need a third metric, a third measure of success that goes beyond the two metrics of money and power, and consists of four pillars: well-being, wisdom, wonder, and giving.”
American Express commissioned the LifeTwist study examining what do people want. Their findings are in synch with Huffington’s new book that people are “placing a greater premium on work life balance and are looking for ways to pursue their passions. In fact, more than two-thirds (72%) of respondents would rather spend money on experiences than things.”
The “youngest American to go to every country,” Lee Abbamonte, told me that you “have to work towards things and establish what you want to do. You can thrive. You can do anything.” His passion led him to set his goal to see 100 countries by his thirtieth birthday. He accomplished that goal five years early!
To build the life we want Huffington suggests using “meditation, yoga, getting enough sleep, renewing ourselves, and giving back” as tools that are the “ultimate everyday performance enhancers.”
Finding our wisdom by “recognizing what we’re really seeking: connection and love...we need to drop our relentless pursuit of success as society defines it for something more genuine, more meaningful, and more fulfilling.”
Defining success individually and living with enthusiasm is a worthwhile endeavor.
