I see that Thrive received a blurb from Sheryl Sandberg, author of Lean In. How do you think that the message of Thrive fits in with the message of Lean In?

Lean In unleashed multiple conversations. For me, the most interesting is the one about the nature of the world women are leaning into. This is a great moment for all of us—women and men—to acknowledge that the current male-dominated model of success isn’t working for women, and it’s not working for men, either.

So I see Lean In and Thrive as companion volumes, both committed to asking a larger question, which is, “What is a good life?” That question has been asked by philosophers going back to the ancient Greeks. But somewhere along the line we abandoned the question and shifted our attention to how much money we can make, how big a house we can buy, and how high we can climb up the career ladder. Those are legitimate questions, particularly at a time when women are still attempting to gain an equal seat at the table. But they are far from the only questions that matter in creating a successful life.

There’s a French expression, “reculer pour mieux sauter,” which, loosely translated, means leaning back in order to jump higher. That’s what cats do. And by leaning back, we become much better at leaning in. That means acknowledging the value of caring for our human capital — getting enough sleep and rejecting the culture of “time macho,” which Anne-Marie Slaughter describes as “a relentless competition to work harder, stay later, pull more all-nighters, travel around the world and bill the extra hours that the International Date Line affords you.” And it means acknowledging that family can actually be a great thing for our career, by putting everything at work in perspective.

You've said that this quote from Montaigne is one of your favorites in your new book, Thrive: "There were many terrible things in my life, but most of them never happened." What does the quote mean to you?

Your child is late coming back and immediately you imagine them in the emergency room and someone looks askance at you in the office and you imagine you’re being fired. But most of the time, our worries are for naught.

This is tied to the voice of doubt, which I call the obnoxious roommate living in our heads. Even our worst enemies don’t talk about us the way we talk to ourselves.

Some of you might have to contend with actual obnoxious roommates, so this makes it even more important for you to silence the metaphorical one. Because that's the one that can do you the most damage. Your actual obnoxious roommate will just borrow your favorite cocktail dress without asking and then spill red wine on it and then not even tell you, and then you're like, did you really think I wasn't going to notice? But the one in your head -- she'll keep you from living out your dreams for the rest of your life.(less)

Go From Surviving to Thriving With My New Online Course on Oprah.com

In the year since Thrive was published, I've been thrilled to meet people all over the world who are longing for change. People are rejecting the myth that burnout has to be the price we must pay for success. But again and again, I was asked, "It's hard to change old habits -- how do I go from understanding what I need to do in order to thrive to actually doing it?"

That's why I'm so excited that I Read more of this blog post »

“Why worry about minor little details like clean air, clean water, safe ports and the safety net when Jesus is going to give the world an "Extreme Makeover: Planet Edition" right after he finishes putting Satan in his place once and for all?”
