The Ambition Trap by Amina AlTai
It turns out, ambition isn’t a dirty word but an invitation to design your life with even greater purpose, meaning, and joy!
Most of us think ambition means doing everything in our power to get what we want. But this approach costs us our health and wellbeing, and ultimately upholds oppressive systems. In The Ambition Trap, Amina AlTai show you how to break the cycle of overwork once and for all—and finally create the greatest, most joy-filled work of your life.
Drawing on her work with Fortune 500 leaders, Olympic gold medalists, start-up founders, and former “girlbosses,” AlTai guides you through the process of reconciling your ambition, starting with healing the core wounds and insecurities currently driving you. Along the way, she introduces actionable strategies for aligning your work with your deepest “why,” leaning into your most natural gifts, nourishing yourself in the long-term pursuit of your goals, setting a sustainable pace, and allowing contentment to guide the way.
