Best Selling Books by Arianna Huffington

Author, syndicated columnist, occasional actress, and businesswoman Ariana Huffington examines the ways in which fear affects the lives of women, and the steps anyone can take to conquer fear. Observing that her own teenage daughters were beginning to experience some of the same fears that had once burdened her -- How attractive am I? Do people like me? Do I dare speak up? -- Arianna Huffington was compelled to look at the subject and impact of fear. In stories drawn from her own experiences and with contributions from Nora Ephron, Diane Keaton and many others, she points toward the moments of extraordinary strength, courage, and resilience that result from confronting and overcoming fear. Her book shows us how to become bold from the inside out: from feeling comfortable in our own skin, to getting what we want in love and at work, to changing the world.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Arianna Huffington’s impassioned and compelling case for the need to redefine what it means to be successful in today’s world—now in a 10th anniversary edition featuring a new preface “A captivating look at what it takes to live a more meaningful, satisfying life. Brimming with passion, supported by science, and crowned with practical insights, Arianna Huffington’s exceptional book will transform our workplaces, schools, and families.”—Adam Grant, bestselling author of Think Again Arianna Huffington’s personal wake-up call came in the form of a broken cheekbone and a nasty gash over her eye—the result of a fall brought on by exhaustion. The cofounder and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post Media Group—which became one of the fastest growing media companies in the world—and celebrated as one of the world’s most influential women, she was, by any traditional measure, extraordinarily successful. Yet as she found herself going from brain MRI to CAT scan to echocardiogram to find out if there was any underlying medical problem beyond exhaustion, she wondered, Is this really what success is like? In the past decade, and especially in today’s post-pandemic world, people are realizing there is far more to living a truly successful life than just earning a bigger salary and climbing the career ladder. Our relentless pursuit of the two traditional metrics of success—money and power—has led to an epidemic of burnout and illness, and an erosion in the quality of our relationships, our family life, and, ironically, our careers. In being connected to the world 24/7, we’re losing our connection to what truly matters. We need a new way forward. In Thrive, Huffington has written a passionate call to arms, as timely today as it was when it was first published more than ten years ago, looking to redefine what it means to be successful in today’s world. Huffington likens our drive for money and power to two legs of a three-legged stool. It may hold us up temporarily, but sooner or later we’re going to topple over. We need a third leg—a Third Metric for defining success. In this deeply personal book, Huffington talks candidly about her own challenges with managing time and prioritizing the demands of a career and a family, the harried dance that led to her collapse—and to her “aha moment.” Drawing on the latest groundbreaking research and scientific findings in the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and physiology that show the transformative effects of our five foundational daily behaviors—sleep, food, movement, stress management, and connection—Huffington shows us the way to a revolution in our culture, our thinking, our workplaces, and our lives.

The author describes the need for spiritual fulfillment and the way to find it.

Co-founder and editor in chief of The Huffington Post Arianna Huffington shows how our cultural dismissal of sleep as time wasted compromises our health and our decision-making and undermines our work lives, our personal lives--and even our sex lives in this New York Times bestseller. We are in the midst of a sleep deprivation crisis, with profound consequences to our health, our job performance, our relationships and our happiness. What we need is nothing short of a sleep revolution: only by renewing our relationship with sleep can we take back control of our lives. In The Sleep Revolution, Arianna explores all the latest science on what exactly is going on while we sleep and dream. She takes on the sleeping pill industry, and all the ways our addiction to technology disrupts our sleep. She also offers a range of recommendations and tips from leading scientists on how we can get better and more restorative sleep, and harness its incredible power. The result is a sweeping, scientifically rigorous, and deeply personal exploration of sleep from all angles, from the history of sleep, to the role of dreams in our lives, to the consequences of sleep deprivation, and the new golden age of sleep science that reveals the vital role sleep plays in our every waking moment and every aspect of our health--from weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease to cancer and Alzheimer’s. In today''s fast-paced, always-connected, perpetually-harried and sleep-deprived world, our need for a good night’s sleep is more important--and elusive--than ever. The Sleep Revolution both sounds the alarm on our worldwide sleep crisis and provides a detailed road map to the great sleep awakening that can help transform our lives, our communities, and our world.

Welcome to Arianna''s excellent adventure. On the heels of a small donation to the Democratic National Committee--the result of a lost bet--she''s invited to spend three days, with access as full as an intern''s, in the infamous Lincoln Bedroom. Like Alice''s exploits through the looking glass, Arianna''s weekend in the White House is increasingly surreal, constantly titillating, and brutally funny. In this sharp political satire, Arianna Huffington takes off the gloves as she takes on the dishonesty and cravenness of politicians of all stripes, leading us on a mind-bending tour through the White House looking glass.

Features updated material and a special foreword from Arianna for the UK audience It’s not an exaggeration to say that the hard-working, average citizen on an average income is an endangered species and that the American Dream of a secure, comfortable standard of living has become outdated. The USA is in danger of becoming a Third World nation.

With her trademark passion, intelligence, and devastating wit, Huffington Post editor in chief Arianna Huffington tackles the issues that are crucial to this year’s presidential election and, even more so, to the fate of the country. Huffington makes the case that America has been hijacked from within by a radical element—the “lunatic fringe” of the Right that has taken over the Republican Party. Despite holding views at odds with the majority of Americans, these zealots have given us an endless war in Iraq, a sputtering economy, a health care system on life support, a war on science and reason, and an immoral embrace of torture. But they haven’t done it on their own: they have been enabled by a compliant media that act as if there is no such thing as truth and are more interested in cozying up to those in power than in holding them accountable, and by feckless Democrats who have allowed themselves to be intimidated into backing down again and again. Both a withering indictment and a hopeful call to arms, Right Is Wrong is an explosive, boldly incisive work that will help set the national agenda.

Powerful and enlightening. How to Overthrow the Government is an impassioned call to arms from one of America''s sharpest and most independent commentators. In its pages Huffington breaks away from the party-line platitudes of Republicans and Democrats alike while challenging Amerians to rise up and take back their government. From the power of special interests to the ravages of the war on drugs, Huffington offers radical yet viable strategies for reclaiming our nation from the corporate and political powers that hold it hostage. For, as she argues, if We the People are to preserve and protect our more perfect union, we must stand up and fight for our country -- before it''s too late.

As America''s leaders fight pre-emptive wars abroad and ordinary Americans fight to keep their heads above water here at home, Arianna Huffington offers a no-holds-barred account of where we stand and a clear and remarkable vision of where we should be headed. Taking aim at the ruthless fanatics in the Bush White House and the feckless fools in the all-too-compliant Democratic opposition, the best-selling author of Pigs at the Trough paints a scathing picture of our contemporary political landscape -- peopled with scoundrels and cowards, and awash in the constant and corrosive flow of dirty money. But the book doesn''t stop there. Over the course of her run for governor of California, Arianna Huffington learned that criticism and outrage are not enough. She lays out her game plan for winning back America from our not-so-compassionately-conservative president, now firmly and happily in the grip of right-wing radicals like Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, and John Ashcroft. With the 2004 election fast approaching, Arianna Huffington sees fire in the ashes of the Democratic Party and reason for hope that this can be the year that the people finally take back control of their government and their country. Fearless, funny, in full command of the facts, and ever passionate, Arianna Huffington offers not just a chapter-and-verse diagnosis of the fanaticism that drives the Bush White House but a bold vision of New Responsibility for rebuilding our broken democracy. If you want to know what you can do to restore America to the promise and moral greatness envisioned by our greatest leaders, from Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt to FDR and Bobby Kennedy, this book is required reading. These are big dreams, but, as Arianna argues, anything smaller guarantees the reelection of George Bush. Book jacket.

Une grande révolution est à votre portée, qui peut transformer votre existence : celle du sommeil. Nous ne nous en apercevons même plus, mais nous souffrons d’une carence. Pour les uns, elle est légère, pour les autres, déjà profonde. Nous souffrons tous du manque de sommeil. Nous pensons que ce manque est un état normal, le nôtre : fatigue, mauvaise humeur. Vraiment ? A vivre pleinement des existences hyperactives, nous avons eu trop tendance à sacrifier le sommeil. Sa durée et sa qualité sont toujours plus menacés et réduits par nos addictions aux somnifères et aux écrans. Sans sommeil, tout se dérègle. Obésité, diabète, dépression, burn-out, les maladies se multiplient... Nous traversons une grave crise de privation, dont les effets sont dévastateurs sur notre santé physique et morale, notre épanouissement, nos capacités de travail, nos décisions, nos relations sociales, et même nos amours. Arianna Huffington explore le sommeil sous tous ses angles. Elle nous dévoile que nous sommes entrés dans l’âge d’or de la science du sommeil. Sans délai, nous pouvons tirer profit pour nous-mêmes de toutes les connaissances accumulées récemment, qu’elles concernent nos compétences cognitives ou nos performances physiques après de longues nuits, ou l’entretien de notre cerveau et de notre corps pendant que nous dormons. Le sommeil ne doit plus être une variable d’ajustement dans notre vie. Nous pouvons tous retrouver le sommeil réparateur. Nous ne nous en porterons que mieux. Si nous optons pour les bonnes pratiques, nous pouvons retrouver le plaisir de dormir et de nous lever en forme, prêts pour chaque nouvelle journée.

Thành Công Đâu Chỉ Tiền Quyền Thước đo thứ 3 để định nghĩa lại thành công trong tương lai Theo thời gian, khái niệm về sự thành công trong xã hội đã thu hẹp lại chỉ còn liên quan đến tiền bạc và quyền lực. Ở điểm này, sự thành công, tiền bạc và quyền lực đã thực sự trở nên đồng nhất trong tâm trí của nhiều người. Ý tưởng về sự thành công này có thể hiệu quả trong thời gian ngắn, nhưng về lâu về dài, nó sẽ giống như việc bạn có thể giữ thăng bằng trên một chiếc ghế có hai chân trong một khoảng thời gian, nhưng cuối cùng vẫn sẽ ngã nhào. Và hiện tượng những người rất thành công bị lật đổ đang xuất hiện ngày càng nhiều. Cách chúng ta từng định nghĩa về sự thành công là không đủ. Nó không còn bền vững đối với loài người hoặc xã hội này nữa. Để sống cuộc đời mà chúng ta thực sự mong muốn, chúng ta cần một Thước đo thứ ba của sự thành công, vượt ra ngoài hai thước đo là tiền bạc và quyền lực, nó sẽ bao gồm bốn yếu tố chính: hạnh phúc (well-being), sự thông thái (wisdom), sự kỳ diệu (wonder) và cho đi (giving). Trích đoạn: “Chúng ta có một nỗi khao khát chung để ngừng sống một cách nông cạn, để ngăn chặn việc làm tổn hại đến sức khỏe và mối quan hệ của chúng ta bằng cách phấn đấu một cách kiệt sức để vươn đến dạng thành công thông thường (tiền bạc và quyền lực) – thay vào đó, hãy xoáy sâu vào những niềm vui và những khả năng tuyệt vời trong cuộc sống của chúng ta.”

En La vida plena Arianna Huffington argumenta de forma apasionada y persuasiva la necesidad de redefinir lo que significa tener éxito en el mundo actual. «Mientras el mundo nos ofrece señales luminosas e insistentes que nos incitan a ganar más dinero y escalar más alto en la pirámide, apenas existen aquellas que nos recuerden que debemos estar conectados a la esencia de lo que somos, que hemos de cuidarnos a lo largo del camino, que debemos relacionarnos los unos con los otros, que tenemos que parar y asombrarnos, y conectar con ese lugar donde todo es posible. Buscad vuestro punto de apoyo, vuestro lugar de sabiduría, paz y fuerza. Y desde ese espacio, rehaced el mundo a vuestro gusto, de acuerdo con vuestra definición de éxito, para que podamos desarrollarnos y vivir nuestra vida con más gracia, más alegría, más compasión, más gratitud, y sí, más amor. ¡Hacia delante, hacia arriba, y hacia el interior!» Arianna Huffington, de La vida plena Reseña: «En La vida plena Arianna nos invita a conectar con quienes somos en realidad para que de este modo podamos vivir bajo nuestros propios designios. Desde la importancia de dormir hasta la necesitad de escuchar nuestra voz interior como vías para gestionar las diferentes crisis que a diario experimentamos, este libro traza para cada uno de nosotros un sendero que nos invita a mirar en nuestro interior y a convertir nuestra vida en una experiencia auténtica y plena». Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO y autora de Lean In

Relația noastră cu somnul trece printr-o adevărată criză! Munca peste program, viaţa de familie, conectarea permanentă la telefoane şi la internet, aspiraţiile și temerile noastre — totul stă în calea detaşării necesare regenerării de care avem nevoie. Nu mai dăm nicio şansă somnului şi credem că acesta este preţul care trebuie plătit pentru a avea succes! Arianna Huffington dezvăluie misterul şi puterea transformatoare a somnului şi ne arată cum să ne eliberăm de griji, să ieșim din timp, să ne umplem de energie şi să revenim la viețile noastre cu sufletul revigorat. O definiţie a succesului care nu include starea de bine, înțelepciunea şi dăruirea ne va împiedica să descoperim ceea ce prețuim și ceea ce dă sens vieții noastre. Suntem aşa cum dormim! Dacă vrem să avem succes, trebuie să începem cu somnul! „Arianna Huffington demonstrează că somnul este absolut necesar sănătăţii, un factor esenţial în atingerea scopurilor noastre. Avem nevoie de somn pentru a reuşi!“ Sheryl Sandberg, COO Facebook „Dacă nu citeşti Revoluția somnului, în mod sigur vei regreta după ce vei muri. Nu credeam că am nevoie de o carte care să mă ajute să dorm, dar aveam! Somnul este totul — e principalul lucru pe care l-am aflat.“ Bill Maher „Arianna Huffington a scris o carte extrem de importantă. Din când în când, cu toţii avem probleme cu somnul. Pentru mulţi, e o luptă continuă. Dacă ne reconstruim relaţia cu somnul, dacă ne împrietenim şi nu ne luptăm cu acesta urmând sfaturile Arianna Huffington, ne vom transforma viaţa şi vom reintra în contact cu sinele nostru inteligent şi plin de compasiune.“ Mark Williams, profesor de psihologie clinică, Universitatea Oxford Cartea Ariannei Huffington trage un semnal de alarmă în privinţa consecinţelor nefaste ale absenţei somnului: slăbirea puterii de decizie şi a creativităţii, anxietatea, stresul, depresia și numeroase alte probleme de sănătate. Chestionarul de calitate a somnului, meditațiile ghidate, la fel ca şi sfaturile şi metodele din volumul de faţă vă vor ajuta să vă reînnoiţi relaţia cu somnul şi să vă transformaţi viaţa.

Arianna Huffington er kendt for at have grundlagt og opbygget internetmediet Huffington Post, som hun nu er bestyrelsesformand for. Men i 2007 kollapsede hun og faldt om derhjemme på grund af overanstrengelse. Denne dramatiske hændelse fik hende til at stoppe op, genoverveje formålet med sin tilværelse – og skrive en bog om sine nye erkendelser. At leve – Arianna Huffingtons metode til succes: trivsel, visdom, forundring og gavmildhed (amerikansk: Thrive) er resultatet. Bogen har gået sin sejrsgang over hele den engelsksprogede verden, hvor den ved udgivelsen lå på bestsellerlisterne hos samtlige medier og boghandlere i månedsvis. Arianna Huffington, som er blevet kaldt en af verdens mest indflydelsesrige kvinder, blev af sit kollaps tvunget til at stoppe op – og erkendte, at hun ikke kunne fortsætte ad hverken samme spor eller i samme gear. Hun skriver selv, at den meget personlige bog handler om ”hvordan jeg på den hårde måde lærte at træde et skridt tilbage og undlade at være så fanget af mit travle liv, at jeg helt gik glip af selve livets mysterium.” Huffington gør i processen op med, at succes og penge er de eneste mål i livet. Mål, som hun tidligere styrede efter og vurderede højt. Hun kommer frem til fire nye pejlemærker: trivsel, visdom, forundring og gavmildhed. Og Arianna Huffington er en kvinde, der går all in. Hun ændrer sit liv. Bogen indeholder en lang række fine eksempler og fortællinger, der viser, hvordan Huffington og andre håndterer at forny pejlemærker og finde nye metoder og mål i livet – ligesom hun griber tilbage til de græske filosoffer (og sin græske baggrund) for at finde måder at efterleve de nye værdier på.

"Estamos viviendo una crisis del sueño", afirma la autora, "con consecuencias nefastas en nuestras relaciones, nuestro trabajo y nuestra felicidad". Es la revolución pendiente. Sólo renovando nuestra relación con el sueño, podremos retomar el control de nuestra vida. En esta era de aceleración y conexión permanente, de permanentes prisas y agobios, disfrutar de un sueño reparador es más difícil y necesario que nunca. "La revolución del sueño" enciende una luz de alerta en nuestro mundo insomne y nos muestra el camino de una toma de conciencia con la que transformaremos nuestra vida, nuestra sociedad y nuestro mundo. Este libro aborda todas las facetas del sueño: el insomnio, el sueño crónico y el cansancio crónico, los medicamentos, la hora de irse a la cama, la ingesta de café, el jet-lag, el sueño en la carretera y en el trabajo, el sueño y el rendimiento deportivo, el sueño y la tecnología y ¡la siesta!

Arianna Huffington, la prêtresse démocrate de l’info sur Internet, se fait Cassandre : la première puissance mondiale est menacée d’être reléguée parmi les pays du tiers-monde ! Elle entend réveiller les élites et la classe politique de Washington qui ne se rendent compte ni du désastre ni de leurs propres responsabilités. Pour faire ce constat, elle n’a qu’à porter son regard autour d’elle, et sur les chiffres : désindustrialisation massive, chômage explosif non comptabilisé, explosion du nombre de pauvres, système éducatif incapable de former les nouvelles générations, infrastructures délabrées. Et l’ensemble du système économique et financier dysfonctionne. Les Etats-Unis sont dans un état critique. La classe moyenne est une couche sociale en voie de disparition : pendant plus d’une dizaine d’années elle a vécu à crédit ; depuis la crise de 2007, elle a été brutalement paupérisée. Avec elle, c’est le pacte social qui est profondément entamé : l’American Dream s’évanouit. L’auteur nous fait voir de l’intérieur la nouvelle grande crise américaine : 1 Américain sur 5 est sans emploi ou sous-employé ; 1 Américain sur 8 vit grâce aux bons alimentaires. En nous rapportant des histoires de vies emblématiques brisées, elle nous montre le nouveau visage des Etats-Unis, celui que, ni ici, ni là-bas, nous ne voulons voir. Traduit de l''anglais (Etats-Unis) par Odile Demange

Erfolg ist mehr als Geld und Macht. Warum Geld und Macht als Erfolgsfaktoren ausgedient haben. Wenn wir langfristig erfolgreich sein wollen, müssen wir das Konzept »Erfolg« neu definieren. Arianna Huffington, Mitbegründerin der Huffington Post, einem der am schnellsten wachsenden Medienunternehmen der Welt, zeigt: Zu lange haben wir Erfolg anhand der Kriterien Geld und Macht definiert – die Folgen sind epidemische Wachstumsraten von stressbedingten Erkrankungen. Arianna Huffington stellt den »dritten Weg« vor, dessen Erfolgsquotient auf Wohlbefinden, Weisheit, Staunen und Großzügigkeit beruht. Sie zieht die neuesten Erkenntnisse der Wissenschaft heran, um darzulegen, was heute nottut: nichts weniger als eine Revolution unserer Kultur, unseres Denkens, unserer Arbeit und unserer Lebensweise.

Self-discovery guide

Comment vraiment réussir ? En dormant de vraies nuits complètes. En apprenant à dissiper le stress et l''impression tenace que nous sommes plongés dans une famine temporelle, manquant sans cesse de temps pour faire ce que nous avons à faire. En apprenant à nous débrancher et en nous reconnectant à nous-mêmes. En nous étonnant de la vie et en donnant aux autres. En nous ressourçant par la marche, la méditation ou des exercices de pleine conscience. Voilà la réponse provocatrice, mais très sage, d''Arianna Huffington dans son livre, S''épanouir. En effet, à quoi bon réussir si le succès n''est pas tenable physiquement et mentalement ? La culture d''entreprise occidentale se nourrit dans les faits de stress, de manque de sommeil et d''épuisement. La maladie du siècle qui nous guette et en rattrape beaucoup, c''est le burn-out. A longue échéance, l''argent et le pouvoir en soi sont comme un tabouret à deux pieds : on peut s''y tenir en équilibre un moment, mais on finit inévitablement par se casser la figure. Il faut intégrer un troisième paramètre, le bien-être. Si nous ne redéfinissons pas la réussite, le prix à payer, notamment en termes de santé, continuera à augmenter, comme Arianna Huffington l''a appris à ses dépens. Elle a décidé d''ouvrer à transformer notre idée de la réussite. C''est une nouvelle révolution qui s''amorce. Récit souvent intime, documenté de nombreuses études scientifiques très récentes, son livre est destiné à nous aider à opérer la transition entre la conscience de ce qu''il faudrait faire et sa réalisation concrète. Il dessine pour chacun le chemin qui mène à l''épanouissement.
