How do you increase the speed and probability of success--given your ambitions? How do you live an enjoyable and fulfilling life? Most ambitious people strive in at least one of these regards. Return on Ambition gives you a holistic and practical model for thriving with both success and fulfillment. Return on Ambition is itself the result of an ambitious effort to harness insights from recent research in cognitive psychology and neuroscience, and it recommends simple, yet powerful, practices including the following-- - The 3 Truisms of Return on Ambition: aspects of an ambitious life that you must understand and accept to live with less regret. - The 4 Premises of Ambition: dimensions that help you contemplate what your unique, personal ambition is. - The Return on Ambition Self-Assessment: indicative measures of how well you are currently getting the return that you could. - The Interdependencies among Achievement, Growth, and Well-Being: research and wisdom show that compromises in any of the three elements will cause declines in the others over time. - The 7 Frenemies: descriptions of personal attributes that are your core strengths as the ambitious person you are, but that are also the biggest obstacles to your success and fulfillment in life. - The Return on Ambition Toolbox: 4 tools that will help you articulate and pursue your ambition, expand your self-awareness, and help you learn consciously. - 4 Self-Coaching Sessions: instructions for 30-60 minute contemplations stimulated by eye-opening questions.
