Thrive! Create What Matters Most: In Challenging Times and Beyond!

"In Thrive!" says Paul Stoltz, author of Adversity Quotient, "Bruce Elkin provides a life-organizing framework with which you can dramatically refocus your life on what matters most. Be prepared to let go of stress and extraneous burdens, and re-energize your life."

Are you:
• Struggling to make sense of a changing world?
• Stuck, stalled, unsure of purpose, goals, direction?
• In transition? Not sure what to do next, or how?
• Thinking of reinventing yourself and or your work?
• Starting out but unsure how to organize your journey?
• Want to simplify but not at the expense of success?
• Want to make life's second half vital and meaningful?
• Want to create what truly matters — in harmony with the systems on which all health, wealth and well being depend?

In Thrive! Elkin shows you how to shift from a reactive, problem-driven approach to life and work to a more powerfully effective creating-focused approach. And how to create the results you'd love to have in your life, work, and world.

Bruce also wrote Simplicity and Success: Creating the Life You Long For. A life coach for 25 years, he's had clients on six continents. He taught at three universities, was Founding Director of Yamnuska Mountain School, developed an Executive Seminars Division for One Step Beyond.

He works with clients as varied as single moms on welfare, athletes, writers, artists, creatives, entrepreneurs and executives at Fortune 500 companies like Alcan and Motorola.

In Thrive! Elkin shows you how to shift from a reactive, problem-driven approach to life and work to a more powerful creating-focused approach. He shows you how to create the results you'd love to have in your life, work, and world - starting where you are, and with whatever you have to work with.

"Bruce is one of the most effective coaches I've worked with," says Josh Dorfman, TV Host and author of The Lazy Environmentalist.

"In Thrive!, he gets you excited about pursuing things that truly matter and how to stay the course until you get there. I found myself thinking, “This makes so much sense!”

Elkin's creating approach is driven by vision, grounded in reality and focused on action that honours reality as it moves you toward desired results.

Step-by-step, he shows you how to set up a framework in which you can explore, experiment and learn from your own experience. He takes the mystery out of creating even complex results, such as a Green business or a best-selling book.

"Bruce's approach goes beyond coping with hard times," says Vicki Robin, million-selling coauthor of Your Money Or Your Life.

"He helps you embrace life's complexity, and use it as raw material to create results. If life gives you lemons, you don't just make lemonade—you make a delicious lemon soufflé. I use some of Bruce's tools and can testify to their power."

As well as showing you how to create results, Elkin also shows you how to develop resilience, "grit" needed to deal with set-backs, overcome adversity and keep working until you make your dreams a reality.

"When I started out," says Doc Klein, President, Unchartered Territories, "I was lost, overconfident, looking for direction. The practices Bruce outlines here helped me develop a framework for life and work that I use every day."

Instead seeing life as a a litany of problems to solve, this book will help you see it as an exciting, meaningful and creative adventure.

Sharon Wood, the first North American Woman to summit Everest says, "Bruce's guidance shaped my approach to life. His template for engaging the world with wonder and enthusiasm helped me transform my dreams into reality."
