We see folks who are just like us, except they are actually, deeply happy and fulfilled. They seem to go through life with ease and grace, overcoming obstacles and making amazing things happen for themselves. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeering closer, we see that these aren't gods or superhumans. They're just people who have chosen to not be stuck and decided to become the main characters in their own lives. Their success (as they define it!) is not a birthright bestowed upon a lucky few, but the result of lives lived with intention. And that's what this book is about -- a practical guide on infusing purpose into life in a deliberate and evidence-based way. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough a combination of inspiring stories about unlikely high performers and evidence from the bleeding edge of behavioral science, we present you with a toolkit for learning intention -- not as a fluffy concept, but as five very trainable skills. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGet your copy of \u003ci\u003eIntention\u003c\/i\u003e today and live your potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSociety is more productive than ever, yet as individuals we have never felt so powerless and unengaged, living in a state of languish--neither mentally healthy nor mentally ill, just in a generalized 'blah-ness'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow did we get here? How is it possible that in an era that has blessed us with longer life expectancy--as well as unprecedented comfort and security--we find ourselves grappling with escalating depression, anxiety, and suicide rates? Why is it that the same modern technology and tools that have made us almost godlike compared to our ancestors leave many of us feeling powerless? How is it that workplaces that have never cared so much about fostering purpose and meaning feel more meaningless than ever? And why is it that more and more people express a sense of disengagement and loss of interest and motivation? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs pervasive as it seems, not everyone is trapped in the gravity of languishing. The ones that have broken free aren't necessarily the richest or the most traditionally successful. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat sets them apart from the rest of us is their ability to act with \u003ci\u003eintention\u003c\/i\u003e. These aren't just CEOs and top athletes; they're students, stay-at-home parents, minimum-wage workers and artists. Despite the limits of their circumstance, these individuals harness the power of intention and--in some cases--are able to radiate that feeling of intention to others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReading this book will give you the tools you need to build your intentionality muscle, and help you overcome the languishing of modern life. This isn't a set of rules for how we should live. It's a call to action to choose to live the way we were meant to--and in doing so, realize our potential as high performers while enjoying the satisfactions of an intentional life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGet unstuck by mastering the toolkit of Intention\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe're stuck.
