THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

'Helps you keep achieving - and find peace and happiness in the process' Amy Edmondson, author of Right Kind of Wrong

‘We are living an earned life when the choices, risks and effort we make align with an overarching purpose in our lives.’

In our modern world, we are constantly striving for the next best thing – the next promotion, the newest car, the bigger house. And yet, even when we achieve these goals, we often don’t feel fully satisfied.

In his most powerful work to date, the world’s number one leadership coach and New York Times bestselling author Marshall Goldsmith reveals the key to living ‘the earned life’.

Full of illuminating stories from Goldsmith’s legendary career as a coach to some of the world’s highest-achieving leaders, Goldsmith implores readers to avoid the Great Western Disease of ‘I’ll be happy when . . .’ He offers practical advice and exercises to help us avoid the obstacles to creating fulfilling lives. From learning to privilege your future over your present, to understanding the balance between risk and opportunity, the book is packed with transformative insights and tools that will help readers avoid regret by closing the gap between what they plan to achieve and what they actually get done.

The Earned Life is a roadmap for ambitious people seeking a higher purpose.

'Inspiring insight from the world's top coach. Goldsmith left me tingling from the journey of reflection I'd been taken on' Bruce Daisley, author of The Joy of Work
