Publisher's Summary
Arianna Huffington's personal wakeup call came in the form of a broken cheekbone and a nasty gash over her eye - the result of a fall brought on by exhaustion and lack of sleep. The co-founder and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post, one of the fastest growing media companies in the world, celebrated as one of the world's most influential women, gracing the covers of magazines, she was, by any traditional measure, extraordinarily successful. Yet as she found herself going from brain MRI to CAT scan to echocardiogram, to find out if there was any underlying medical problem beyond exhaustion, she found herself wondering, is this really what success feels like?
In Thrive, she has written a passionate call to arms, looking to redefine what it means to be successful in today's world. In a commencement address she gave at Smith College in the spring of 2013, Arianna likened our drive for money and power to two legs of a three-legged stool. It may hold us up temporarily, but sooner or later we're going to topple over. We need a third leg - a Third Metric for defining success. In this deeply personal book, Arianna talks candidly about her own challenges with managing time and prioritizing the demands of a career and two daughters - of juggling business deadlines and family crises, a harried dance that led to her collapse - and to her "aha moment". Drawing on the latest groundbreaking research and scientific findings in the fields of psychology, sports, sleep, and physiology that show the profound and transformative effects of meditation, mindfulness, unplugging, and giving, Arianna shows us the way to a revolution in our culture, our thinking, our workplaces, and our lives.

Greatest work ever done!
This book got me back to reality! I was not a big reader, but I bought thrive from a recommendation and I read it three times in two weeks! Then I bought the audiobook here and listened to it about 8 times as you catch deets every time! If you need a boost in life it will help no doubt!! It changed my life!! #Audible1

A positive, thought filled book
I felt like I was listening to Arianna herself. Agapi did a wonderful job of narrating. Love the title, idea and intention. For me was a bit challenging to listen to. Some of the data/statistics lost my attention but then I am not a data driven (some would say left brain) person. I did gleen some valuable information and wisdom from in between the stats. Aready practicing some of the suggestions and ideas and was informed more about others I hadn't thought as deeply about. And I did enjoy the stories that were weaved through the book. All in all a positive, thought filled book. Thank you Arianna.

I really like the book, message and contents.
I like the book as a whole, love the concept and message, I think everyone needs to read this at least once. I am however not a fan of the narrator, I feel she is too slow and it makes me loose focus as I listen. I recommend bumping up the speed to at least 1.25x, you wont even notice it's going faster. 1.5x is good too but you notice it's sped up.

Worth it
Excellent first 60% of the book, would have preferred Ariannas narration. Lost me a bit or was less enchanted with the last section, no particular reason. I guess there were less personal stories in that section? I don’t know
