Book Description
The roadmap for finding purpose, meaning, and success as we age, from bestselling author, Harvard professor, and the Atlantic's happiness columnist Arthur Brooks. Many of us assume that the more successful we are, the less susceptible we become to the sense of professional and social irrelevance that often accompanies aging. But the truth is, the greater our achievements and our attachment to them, the more we notice our decline, and the more painful it is when it occurs. What can we do, starting now, to make our older years a time of happiness, purpose, and yes, success? At the height of his career at the age of 50, Arthur Brooks embarked on a seven-year journey to discover how to transform his future from one of disappointment over waning abilities into an opportunity for progress. From Strength to Strength is the result, a practical roadmap for the rest of your life. Drawing on social science, philosophy, biography, theology, and eastern wisdom, as well as dozens of interviews with everyday men and women, Brooks shows us that true life success is well within our reach. By refocusing on certain priorities and habits that anyone can learn, such as deep wisdom, detachment from empty rewards, connection and service to others, and spiritual progress, we can set ourselves up for increased happiness. Read this book and you, too, can go from strength to strength.

Buy now to get the main key ideas from Arthur C. Brooks's From Strength to Strength The incessant quest for success can destroy our happiness in the long run. In today’s fast-paced world, we get lost chasing traditional success after success while ignoring every other important thing in our lives. In From Strength to Strength (2022), scholar Arthur C. Brooks explains why, and what to do about it. We actually experience two waves of career success in life, based on two different intelligence types or strengths. One is highest in early adulthood; the other comes with getting older, and we need to brace ourselves so that we can jump into the second wave comfortably. With the right mindset, we can seamlessly make the transition from one strength to another.

Book Description
From Strength to Strength by Arthur C. Brooks Constantly striving for success can lead to a loss of happiness in the long term. In our fast-paced world, we often find ourselves relentlessly pursuing traditional achievements, neglecting other vital aspects of life. Arthur C. Brooks, in his book "From Strength to Strength" (2022), explains this phenomenon and offers solutions. He highlights two phases of career success, each associated with different types of intelligence: one in youth and another in later life. Preparing for the second phase with the right mindset enables a seamless transition between these strengths. The Curse Of Striver The "striver's curse" is an underlying source of anguish that afflicts many accomplished individuals. It manifests as an unceasing drive to constantly do more, achieve greatness, and attain larger goals, often at the expense of personal contentment. This perpetual quest for success leaves individuals dissatisfied in the long run. Breaking free from this curse is attainable for anyone willing to put in the effort. Arthur Brooks' own transformation from this mindset significantly improved his life and can do the same for others. Challenging your innate desire to be a "striver" may be difficult but ultimately rewarding. Embracing your imperfections and relinquishing self-imposed limitations can lead to lasting happiness and enhanced success. Confronting the inevitability of decline and mortality with bravery and self-assurance can help mend neglected relationships from the pursuit of worldly success. While stepping into the unknown may be intimidating after investing substantial effort to avoid it, it also holds the promise of excitement and new opportunities. Grab a copy andlearn more!

As you come to understand God’s promises and how they apply to every aspect of your life, you’ll gain a trust in God that will sustain you through the worst of times and be your source of rejoicing in the best.
