Rent Success Intelligence: Practical Wisdom for Greater Happiness

Synopsis

What is success? Is it measured by how fast your investment portfolio is growing, how many goals you’ve checked off your life list, or how many e-mails you can answer before breakfast?
In our manic age of overnight delivery, speed dating, and express everything, the pursuit of happiness is accelerating to a breakneck pace. We work harder instead of smarter and confuse what’s urgent with what’s important. Instead of connecting deeply with our loved ones, we use shorthand messages and rushed encounters to "catch up" on their news. And the faster we go, the more we leave in the dust: our creativity, our health, and our sense of joy. This powerful CD set makes the crucial distinction between living fast and living well—and helps us arrive at a new definition of success in our work, in our relationships, and within ourselves.
With humor, compassion, and a deep understanding of the human potential for both pain and joy, psychologist Robert Holden, Ph.D., explains that the key is not greater effort, but greater wisdom. Drawing on 20 years of work with clients from all walks of life—business leaders, writers and artists, professional athletes, and entrepreneurs—he guides us through a process of searching self-inquiry to examine our ideas of happiness, remove the limits to our potential, and set goals that engage our whole being.
Through stories, exercises, and dozens of Success Intelligence Tips, Holden helps us discern the ultimate purpose of success for each of us: not only to live our own life to the fullest, but to be "a friend to the world."
