About Anatomy of a Breakthrough (on sale May 16, 2023): Whether it’s a relationship, your career, a creative pursuit, a financial opportunity, or even an athletic goal, we all experience getting stuck. However, rather than treating these frustrating points in our lives as obstacles, there’s actually a way to turn these into opportunities for flourishing in your life and your work. In Anatomy of a Breakthrough, Adam provides a roadmap for breaking through the stuckness, grounded in a blend of science, philosophy, personal stories, and interviews. It’s a groundbreaking thesis that proves excellence is better than perfectionism, thinking like a beginner is better than being an expert, and recognizing what is important instead of what isn’t, will get you much farther than the wall you originally believed you’d run into. You may even discover a whole new room.
