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.

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.

These aren’t just CEOs and top athletes; they’re students, stay-at-home parents, minimum-wage workers and artists.
