All of us go through episodes of simply being stuck, whether we're trapped in a thankless job, wrestling writer's block, muddling through a midlife crisis or trying to remedy a fraying friendship. The resulting emotion is a mix of anxiety, uncertainty, fear, anger and numbness, and it's often chronic, dangerous to our mental health and with severe consequences to our success and development. What if someone told you that there is a proven plan to break through and to get unstuck?

Anatomy of a Breakthrough is the remedy to identifying and overcoming the friction points holding us back, providing a new framework for not only getting unstuck but going on to flourish. Critically, Adam Alter introduces us to the Friction Audit - a test to work out where our sticking points lie between our HEAD, HEART or HABITS - and then takes us on a roadmap to break through.

Artfully weaving together scientific studies, anecdotes, and interviews, Anatomy of a Breakthrough will inspire you to boldly break away from the things holding you back and to realise your goals.

Unstuck is a landmark new smart-thinking title that will help anyone optimise their mind to overcome the obstacles holding them back. It does for self-development what Atomic Habits did for with behavioural hacking and Thinking Fast and Slow did for understanding ourselves.

Everyone, at some time, will go through episodes of simply being stuck; whether it's in our careers or relationships, our personal, professional or artistic lives. We call this things like 'being stuck in a rut', 'having writer's block' or 'being frozen in place'. This is not just harmful in the short-term, but is often chronic, dangerous to our mental health and well-being, and with severe consequences to our success and development.

Unstuck is the remedy to identifying and overcooking the 'friction points' holding us back. Adam Alter offers an brilliantly applicable new framework for not only getting 'unstuck' but also going on to thrive. Critically, he introduces us to the Friction Audit: a test to work out where our sticking points lie, categorises them as existing in our Head, Heart or Habits. Unstuck then takes us through a 5-step process to strive for more and to thrive.


Unstuck is the key for overcoming friction points and reaching our full potential.
