Description
A game-changing road map for ambitious people to transform chronic stress and anxiety into sustainable happiness and success.
Throughout her years as a licensed clinical psychologist, Mary E. Anderson, PhD--known affectionately as "Dr. A" by her clients--has noticed a pattern: Talented, productive, and often brilliant patients--from business executives to lawyers to grad students--constantly arrive on her couch, drop their flawless facades, and describe feelings of self-doubt, burnout, and worry.
The Happy High Achiever brings Dr. Anderson's unparalleled expertise to the wider world. The book is a practical guide to her 8 Essentials, a set of powerful principles with actionable, science-based strategies to combat the unique pressures and pitfalls of high-performing individuals. These CBT-based tools help ambitious people like you live free of the perpetual anxiety and fear of failure that can hold you back, and instead enjoy both happiness and high achievement.
The Happy High Achiever will teach you:
- Why striving for perfection actually limits you
- How to navigate uncertainty with less worry and more ease
- How to find relief in moments of overwhelm
- How to overcome the three most problematic ways of thinking that plague high achievers
- Why gratitude is rocket fuel for your success
- How to get clear about what you really want for your life
- How to effectively manage stress to boost your calm and confidence and enhance your performance
Most importantly, you'll learn anxiety is not the price of admission for your success. You have the power to optimize your life and be your best. You can be a happy high achiever.
