Life is coming at us fast. It’s easier with a guide for life navigation.
fifty, rendering our traditional blueprints for life, work, and success
outdated. Strategies that once promised a clear path to the American Dream,
like pursuing a conventional education or climbing the company ladder, no
longer guarantee continual progress toward our goals. Many of us find
ourselves unprepared and uncertain, struggling to adapt to the accelerating
pace of change. In this new era, the questions arise: what are the key drivers
of success and sustainability? How can we navigate this complex world
effectively?
The New Life Blueprint: A 21st Century Guide to Success, Health, Wealth, and
Happiness in a Complex World by best-selling author Dr. Natalia Peart, with
Christopher Burge, offers an insightful approach to navigating life more
holistically and sustainably in our rapidly changing world.
Traditionally, success was a straightforward formula: get a degree, land a
job, work hard, and enjoy the rewards. In The New Life Blueprint, Peart and
Burge first examine the historical, contextual, and personal shifts that have
made this old blueprint outdated. They make the case compellingly that this
blueprint, which currently guides our educational, career, and life choices,
was designed for a simpler, more predictable era but no longer applies in our
new, more complex era.
They respond to this challenge by reinventing the old blueprint into a
modern-era career, mental, financial, and lifestyle blueprint. Their new
roadmap provides readers with the instructions and guidance they need to equip
and prepare themselves to navigate their professional and personal lives,
build resilience in constant uncertainty, and achieve the sustainable success,
health, wealth, and happiness they seek.
Drawing on 14 disciplines, including neuroscience, economics, and performance
psychology, as well as decades of experience as a psychologist, CEO,
leadership and performance consultant, and Wall Street executive, the authors
bring a wealth of knowledge to the table.
This book is not just about survival; it’s about flourishing in a world
where change is the only constant. The New Life Blueprint not only captures
the urgency and necessity for a redefined approach to living in a complex
world but also provides a hopeful vision for thriving with confidence and
clarity.
