* As heard on The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett * ´A brilliant detective story about the sources of human creativity. I loved it´ - Malcolm Gladwell ´Important, entertaining, practical, and timely´ - Arianna Huffington Anatomy of a Breakthrough is a groundbreaking guide to optimising your life, overcoming obstacles, and reaching your full potential. All of us go through episodes of simply being stuck, whether we´re trapped in a thankless job, wrestling writer´s block, muddling through a midlife crisis, or fixing a fraying friendship. The resulting malaise is often chronic, dangerous to our mental health, and with severe consequences to our success and development. What if there was a proven plan to get unstuck and break through? Anatomy of a Breakthrough is the remedy for overcoming the impediments holding us back. Professor of Marketing, and New York Times-bestselling author, Adam Alter offers a brilliant new framework for not only getting unstuck but also going on to flourish. Critically, he introduces us to the Friction Audit - a test to work out where our sticking points lie between our Head, Heart and Habits - and then he takes us on a roadmap to break through. Artfully weaving together scientific studies, anecdotes, and interviews, and illustrated with stories of the great ´unstickers´ amongst us, Anatomy of a Breakthrough will inspire anyone to boldly break away from the things holding them back, and to realise their goals.
