Find your dharma—your inner calling—and learn to integrate
ambition, work, and wellbeing to create a balanced, joyous life
with this practical, life-changing guide from the beloved speaker,
bestselling author, and co-founder of the Gross National Happiness
Center. We’ve been conditioned, from an early age, to believe
that one day we’ll reach a moment of “arrival.” But no matter
how much we achieve or acquire we still don’t feel as satisfied
or as fulfilled as we thought we would be. Exhausted, we become
burned out and cynical, questioning the purpose of it all. An
expert on happiness and work, Suneel Gupta argues that for too long
society has been fixated on the Future of Work and ignored the
Future of Worth. We’ve compartmentalized work and well-being and
ignored the fact that both are essential for sustained success.
We’ve assumed that outer success leads to inner
well-being–despite history showing us that this has never been
the case. In Everyday Dharma, Suneel helps us break this negative
cycle. A captivating storyteller, he weaves personal stories,
history, science, Eastern philosophy, and Western modalities in
this engaging, enlightening, and prescriptive book. He begins by
helping us identify our dharma, the essence of who we are. When
you’re in your Dharma, you feel confident, creative, and caring,
with a sense of purpose, and that shines through your life and
work. Everyday Dharma provides an accessible three-step approach to
discovering, understanding, and living your “sacred calling.”
At its center are self-assessments to help you identify your
passions and powerful rituals for building new habits—ancient
practices supported by science and found in diverse cultural
sources, including Toni Morrison’s novels, Jimi Hendrix’s
lyrics, and Frida Kahlo’s paintings, and used by the likes of
Nelson Mandela, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Mahatma Gandhi. Finding
your dharma empowers you to let go of anxiety, follow your wildest
ambitions, produce your life’s work, and experience true joy.
'This remarkable book can be your secret weapon for bringing your
idea to life.' DAN PINK, bestselling author of Drive 'Whether you
want to get ahead inside a company or build a startup from the
ground up, this fascinating book is a must-read.' REID HOFFMAN,
co-founder of LinkedIn 'A super-readable and actionable look at how
to make your ideas take flight. Whether you're pitching a brand new
startup or an idea for your company's next product, you'll find a
wealth of insights and stories throughout.' MIKE KRIEGER,
co-founder of Instagram No one makes it alone. But there's a reason
why some people can get investors or bosses to believe in them
while others cannot. And that reason has little to do with
experience, pedigree or a polished business plan. Backable people
seem to have a hidden quality that inspires others to take action.
We often chalk this up to natural talent or charisma . . . either
you have 'it' or you don't. After getting rejected by every
investor he pitched, Suneel Gupta had a burning question: could
'it' be learned? Drawing lessons from hundreds of the world's
biggest thinkers, Suneel discovered how to pitch new ideas in a way
that has raised millions of dollars, influenced large-scale change
inside massive corporations, and even convinced his 8-year-old
daughter to clean her room. Inside the book are long-held secrets
from producers of Oscar-winning films, venture capitalists,
founders of unicorn-status startups, and executives at iconic
companies like Lego, Method and Pixar. Suneel used these invaluable
lessons to become the New York Stock Exchange's 'New Face of
Innovation'. Backable reveals how the key to success is not
charisma, connections, or even your CV, but rather your ability to
persuade others to take a chance on you. This groundbreaking book
will show you how.
