Join thousands of readers and learnabout a powerful antidote to today's epidemic of burnout---and a path to achieving success with deeper satisfaction--from the bestselling author of Peak Performance

""A thoughtful, actionable book for pursuing more excellence with less angst.""--Adam Grant, author of Think Again

Playing into the always-on, never enough hustle culture ultimately takes a serious toll.

While the high of occasional wins can keep you going for a while, angst, restlessness, frayed relationships, exhaustion, and even substance abuse can be the unwanted side effects of an obsession with outward performance.

In The Practice of Groundedness, bestselling author Brad Stulberg offers a path for which peak performance and well-being and fulfillment can emerge and prevail for a lifetime. At the heart of this model is groundedness--a practice that valuespresence over rote productivity, accepts thatprogress is nonlinear, and prioritizeslong-term values and fulfillment over short-term gain. To be grounded is to possess a firm and unwavering foundation, an internal strength and self-confidence that sustains you through ups and downsand from which deep and enduring success can be found. Groundedness does not eliminate ambition and striving; rather, it situates these qualities and channels them in more meaningful ways.

Interweaving case studies, modern science, and time-honored lessons from ancient wisdom traditions such as Buddhism, Stoicism, and Taoism, Stulberg teaches readers how to cultivate the habits and practices of a more grounded life. Readers will learn-

Why

patience is the key to getting where you want to go faster--in work and

life--and how to develop it, pushing back against the culture's misguided

obsession with speed and ""hacks.""How to

utilize the lens of the wise observer in order to overcome delusion and

resistance to clearly see and accept where you are-which is the key to

more effectively getting where you want to goWhy

embracing vulnerability is the key to genuine strength and confidenceThe

critical importance of ""deep community,"" or cultivating a sense of

belonging and connection to people, places, and causes.

Provocative and practical, The Practice of Groundedness is the necessary corrective to the frenetic pace and endemic burnout resulting from contemporary definitions of success.

It offers a new-and better-way.

Reviews for The Practice of Groundedness: A Transformative Path to Success That Feeds - Not Crushes - Your Soul

Praise for The Practice of Groundedness Brad Stulberg has become the writer I turn to for examinations of success, in all of that word's personal and professional complexities and connotations. The Practice of Groundedness is a perfect extension of what Brad has been building for years. It follows from his essays and previous books--but is more ambitious, far-reaching, and impactful. --David Epstein, New York Times bestselling author of Range and The Sports Gene Brad Stulberg is one of my favorite writers about performance and success in all its forms. The Practice of Groundedness gets to the heart of the matter. --Ryan Holiday, New York Times bestselling author of Stillness Is the Key and Ego Is the Enemy When Brad first described this idea to me, my immediate response was: 'You have to write this book!' The Practice of Groundedness offers a crucial alternative to the large audience of those exhausted by soulless exhortations to crush it, and looking for a deeper approach to building a successful life. --Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author of Digital Minimalism and Deep Work
