Flourish

21.25

Daniel Coyle has spent the last six years researching and visiting ‘holistic hotbeds’ – groups, teams, businesses, and communities which have, accidentally or on purpose, created deep, thriving relationships that generate high levels of shared success and well-being. From a small town in Vermont that has produced 11 Olympians over the past 40 years – where most of the Olympians return to live and work after their athletic careers are over – to a Michigan deli that accidentally grew into a $70 million business. And from a grassroots organization in an impoverished Kenyan settlement that has produced Ivy League students, to a successful multi-billion dollar company that functions like an extended family. Coyle discovered that all these groups flourish using three skills, which form the three parts of this book.

Description

A science-based, practical blueprint for cultivating a life – at work and at home – full of a sense of belonging, joy and vitality, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Culture Code

  • How do we set about finding greater fulfilment in our lives?
  • How do we achieve a sense of well-being?
  • How do we foster relationships that will add depth and meaning to our existence?
  • How, in other words, do we go from living to flourishing?

In his new book, bestselling author Daniel Coyle trains his expert eye on the people who have demonstrated exceptional powers of dynamism and connectivity, and teases out their secrets.

  • The Chilean miners who withstood being trapped deep underground for 33 days by establishing rituals of belonging and purpose.
  • The Dutch community that sparked urban renewal through a smart system of self-organisation.
  • The delicatessen in Michigan that has grown into a multi-million dollar enterprise, not by writing business plans but by shaping attentional space – focussing on how people show up, listen and engage.

From such remarkable stories of individual and group achievement, Coyle distils the core dynamics that make them possible – and, in the process, shows how small, deliberate shifts in how we think and interact can create extraordinary impact.

Whether you are seeking a deeper sense of personal contentment or aspiring to transform a team or community, Flourish is the indispensable guide to shaping the future you want.
