Anatomy of a Breakthrough Summary

Anatomy of a Breakthrough: How to get unstuck and unlock your potential by Adam Alter

'This book is phenomenal' - Steven Bartlett on Diary of a CEO
'Brilliant. I loved it' - Malcolm Gladwell
'Important, entertaining, practical, and timely' - Arianna Huffington

All of us go through episodes of simply being stuck, whether we're trapped in a thankless job, wrestling writer's block, muddling through a midlife crisis, or trying to remedy a fraying friendship. The resulting emotion is a mix of anxiety, uncertainty, fear, anger, and numbness, and it's often chronic, dangerous to our mental health, and with severe consequences to our success and development. What if someone told you that there is a proven plan to break through and to get unstuck?

Anatomy of a Breakthrough is the remedy to identifying and overcoming the friction points holding us back, providing a new framework for not only getting unstuck but going on to flourish. Critically, he introduces us to the Friction Audit - a test to work out where our sticking points lie between our HEAD, HEART or HABITS - and then takes us on a roadmap to break through.

Artfully weaving together scientific studies, anecdotes, and interviews, Anatomy of a Breakthrough will inspire you to boldly break away from the things holding you back, and to realise your goals.
