The Earned Life

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, March 2022'Inspiring insight from the world's top coach...Goldsmith left me tingling from the journey of reflection I'd been taken on' Bruce Daisley, author of The Joy of Work*********Our lives reside on a continuum that roams between 'fulfilment' on the one end and 'regret' at the other. Where would you place yourself right now? And where do think you should be?In his powerful new framework, the worlds' number one executive coach Marshall Goldsmith explains that there are eight 'satisfactors' that impact our position on the scale. These are happiness, meaning, purpose, achievement, engagement, relationships, health and wealth. And he shows how creating equivalence between (a) the choices, risks and effort made in pursuing the satisfactors and (b) the reward received for doing so, moves us towards fulfilment. Drawing on examples from his work coaching the CEOs of the world's largest companies, he lays out three simple steps, living your own life, becoming a 'one-trick genius', and committing yourself to 'earning' every day to show how we all have the power to be fulfilled and to live the earned life. *********'The advice in this book can help you keep on achieving and, at the same time, do a better job of finding peace and happiness in the process' Amy C. Edmondson, Harvard professor and author of The Fearless Organization
