Think about a time where you grew the most. Was it a time where you didn't fail? No, it was probably a time where you failed a decent percentage of the time, right? Was it a time where you understood You where you could execute every single plan that you came up with?

No, it was a time where you were probably forced to improvise a little bit. That's Daniel Coyle. He's an award-winning author of multiple New York Times bestsellers that explore how people in groups grow, perform, and thrive. He combines immersive field reporting with behavioral science to create practical frameworks for building skill, culture and meaningful connection.

His new book Flourish, The Art of Building Meaning, Joy and Fulfillment, reveals what it takes to cultivate a life and a work experience that's full of joy and vitality. So you'll learn one, why shared improvement beats self improvement, two, the three minute visualization that liberates tremendous clarity, and three, why vulnerability comes before trust, not after. And if you want a quick summary write-up of the actionable takeaways that Daniel shares, I recommend you sign up for the free Gold Nugget email newsletter found at awesomeatyourjob.com.
