Everything is different now. The future is so uncertain, how we are supposed to live and love and just plain survive, is upside down and backwards. And it can feel positively over-whelming. But what I realized is that maybe, just maybe, we can turn what we learned about ourselves during these long months of quarantine, about how we think and work and dream, about how we function in relationships with our family, friends, or the world at large--into something good, something positive. Maybe we can use this global reset as a way to go forward into individual, personal greater happiness, health and success. All it takes is our willingness to move forward instead of backward, to embrace the lessons that emerged for us in this time of forced introversion. To come at life a little differently. With, say, optimism. Positivity. A belief in the possibility of good things happening. A willingness to say "thank you" to Life regardless of its bumps and hurdles. Study after study show that optimists, those with a positive, appreciative, forward thinking take on life--thrive. Pessimists do not. Optimism doesn't mean going around with a "glass is half full" mentality. It's much more. Optimism means making the best of what is. Optimism is an expansive perspective, an opening towards possibilities and opportunity. Optimism means choosing deliberately to see how things could work out, what might be a better way, what resources or help might be available. To see the good in our lives. Good happens all the time, in every corner of the globe. Whether it's José Andrés rushing in to feed the world's hungry, front-liners giving their all 24/7, or perfect strangers coming to the aid of someone in need, the more we recognize and appreciate the good in all, the happier we get, the longer we live, and the healthier we are. All it takes is a shift in attitude. "I Survived COVID-19, What Now?! Finding Happiness and Success in a Post-COVID World" is designed to give you insights and inspiration as to how to accomplish this powerful life-enhancing shift. It provides you with strategies, tips and techniques for how to find the positives in life despite awful/painful circumstances, along with examples of real people who have done just that. It's easier than you might think, and the rewards in terms of your happiness and success will truly be remarkable. Welcome to your brave new world post-COVID-19!

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Anna Quindlen presents a “swift and compelling paean to the joys of books” (Booklist). “Like the columns she used to write for the New York Times, [How Reading Changed My Life] is tart, smart, full of quirky insights, lapidary, and a pleasure to read.”—Publishers Weekly “Reading has always been my home, my sustenance, my great invincible companion. . . . Yet of all the many things in which we recognize universal comfort—God, sex, food, family, friends—reading seems to be the one in which the comfort is most undersung, at least publicly, although it was really all I thought of, or felt, when I was eating up book after book, running away from home while sitting in a chair, traveling around the world and yet never leaving the room. . . . I read because I loved it more than any activity on earth.”—from How Reading Changed My Life

In the spring of 2010, Harvard Business School’s graduating class asked HBS professor Clay Christensen to address them—but not on how to apply his principles and thinking to their post-HBS careers. The students wanted to know how to apply his wisdom to their personal lives. He shared with them a set of guidelines that have helped him find meaning in his own life, which led to this now-classic article. Although Christensen’s thinking is rooted in his deep religious faith, these are strategies anyone can use. Since 1922, Harvard Business Review has been a leading source of breakthrough ideas in management practice. The Harvard Business Review Classics series now offers you the opportunity to make these seminal pieces a part of your permanent management library. Each highly readable volume contains a groundbreaking idea that continues to shape best practices and inspire countless managers around the world.
