From the New York Times bestselling author of The Age of Speed and The Ant and the Elephant comes an engaging parable to help you break free from feeling stuck and bounce back after a crisis in the business of life.Personal catastrophes are like an earthquake: they leave us too shaken to know what to do next, afraid that every step we take might spark another upheaval. But we can learn to resist our human instinct to hide from challenges. In this entertaining modern-day fable, Vince Poscente introduces us to the well-intentioned, conscious ant and the habitually fearful, subconscious elephant as seismic destruction changes their world and ultimately forces them to leave their oasis. What Adir the ant and Elgo the elephant learn-and what you'll learn by journeying with them-is the linear path they used to reach the oasis in The Ant and the Elephant does not work in the chaos after an earthquake. How can they breakthrough and thrive after a life-altering setback? The answer lies in the "Solution Loop, " a tool that teaches them to use collaboration, curiosity, and creativity to: • Reframe dark times as illuminating experiences • Resist the impulse to go it alone • Find fresh perspectives • Seek a path where you can enjoy the journey The methodology is told using the time-honored method of a parable. The book offers prescriptive advice, and is based on Poscente's study of practices like decoding human behavior, the neuroscience of performance, and interpersonal dysfunction around fear, The Earthquake is a must read. It's for anyone looking to find your way to sustained hope and away from the messy and debilitating challenges caused by devastation, for specific solutions to the setback you're currently facing, or to help others bounce back from their personal earthquake.
