It’s as old as the principle of yin and yang. Learn how to prevent overusing your strengths so they don’t become a weakness as well as what true strengths look like through the lens of paradoxical leadership.

Most of us think ambition means doing everything in our power to get what we want. But this approach costs us our health and wellbeing and ultimately upholds oppressive systems. In The Ambition Trap, I show you how to break the cycle of overwork once and for all—and finally create the greatest, most joy-filled work of your life.
In the book, I help you uncover the roots of your painful ambition that’s holding you back—whether a childhood wound of abandonment, cultural biases about who’s allowed to be ambitious, or structural scripts that incentivize us to equate our identities with our jobs. I offer strategies for aligning your work with your deepest “why” and most natural gifts, honoring the natural rhythms of production, rest, and recovery, and stop instrumentalizing your body and those of others to get ahead. It turns out, ambition isn’t a dirty word. It’s an invitation to design a life with even greater purpose, meaning, and joy.
