Anatomy of a breakthrough : how to get unstuck when it matters most

Alter, Adam 1980- (author.).

Summary: Almost everyone feels stuck in some way: a block in creativity, a thankless job, a fraying friendship. Alter shares ways of getting unstuck, and teaches readers that getting stuck is a feature rather than a glitch on the road to success. He offers advice on making breakthroughs in every sphere of life, from creative pursuits and sports to entrepreneurship and relationships. --
