- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Pretty interesting. Heavy on meditation.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book provides a good reminder that our health is the most important thing we have and that we need to take care of ourselves. I enjoyed reading about the author's journey after taking a fall after being sleep deprived. She gives much food for thought via the way of meditation and the unplugging of electronic devices. I really enjoyed reading about her mother who seemed to be quite the character and a very positive role model.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Fun and funny. Touching at times but never saccharine. Original and innovative, I have trouble imagining NPH recounting his tale in any other fashion than this 'choose your own adventure' style of writing. If you remotely like NPH then by the end of this you will surely love the guy. Mr. Harris' narration is on point and will leave you with a smile on your face after each chapter. One might say his narration, and life story are legen... wait for it... dary!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So funny and heartfelt! I personally loved the delivery and the honesty of it. NPH never tried to retire from the fact that he IS a celebrity, no matter how human and relatable, and that is refreshing!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such an amazing book! Loved the way it was written. Made me feel the intimacy he shares with life. Loved it!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Funny book that genuinely made me laugh out loud at times. I didn't quite realize that this would be a "choose your own adventure" type book (which I should have guessed by the name) and at times it did get a bit confusing. Overall, I enjoyed it and it made my commute much more pleasant.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5NPH, thanks for the eargasm...za.
p.s. love your face ballz - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very entertaining. This book made me laugh out loud several times. I have a whole new level of respect and love for NPH and his family. I have told so many people about him and all of his great stories and adventures.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Success is often defined by money and power, and one could argue that Arianna Huffington is successful by both of those metrics. However, while working 18-hour-days to build The Huffington Post and be a mother to her two daughters, she collapsed in exhaustion and begin to question her definition of success. In this book, she suggests that to be truly success, we need more than money and power. We also need to thrive by bringing well-being, wisdom, wonder, and giving into our lives. In this book, she integrates her story with research that illustrates the benefits of practices such as meditation, mindfulness, volunteering, and respite. While Huffington convinced me of the importance of all of the topics that she touches on in this book, I found myself wanting more depth in places. Still, this book does the important work of reminding us of the importance of living intentionally.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An enthralling case for everyone to redefine what it means to be successful. Her major points are of Mindfulness, Meditation, Unplugging, and Giving as a means to survive this competitive age.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I don't think the author did a very good job of explaining what real success is. She had a few good points to make and a few bad ones. In the places where she was right, we certainly did need her to elucidate them. Common sense prevails. But the areas in which she was wrong were quite disturbing.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Outstanding collection of essays with liberal use of references and quotes.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I listened to the unabridged audiobook version of this and I found it timely, and full of wisdom and food for thought. I had a difficult time with the reader, though. Maybe I am just too critical or overly sensitive to reader's voices, but this one (Coleen Marlo) over-enunciated to the point of it sounding phony half the time. Also, although she has no accent or speech problem, every word that ended in *d*, she pronounced as if it ended in *t*. So, *and* became *ant*, *world* sounded like *worlt*, and so on. I found this to be a distraction for me but because I wanted to hear the whole book, I did not give up. However, I think I may go and buy the book because there were several parts I'd like to have underlined so I could return to them and reread. I am at a point in my life right now where health, self-care and well-being are taking on particular meaning so this book was a serendipitous choice at the moment.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In Thrive, Arianna Huffington (Huffington Post) redefines success. Forget money and power, the classic metric, and embrace well-being as the third metric. A broad theme, you might use happiness as a result of a life well lived instead. Personal health, enough sleep, Intuition, spirituality, mindfulness, our sense of wonder, and the capacity for compassion and giving. The author, constantly busy heading HuffPost, had her personal wake-up call in the form of a broken cheekbone and a nasty gash over her eye -- the result of a fall brought on by exhaustion and lack of sleep.Her Greek / Jewish background, especially the way her mother lived and left life, inspired her. Her comparative religions studies in India further shaped her, while staying connected with the contemporary news consumer. What is the legacy you want to leave behind?Our current definition of success is killing, makes us selfish, zombies without relationships, always in a hurry. Thrive means movement upward, forward and inward. And so, Arianna shares a lot of insights, examples, quotes from religious texts, philosophers, researchers to ask attention for better time management, a deep consciousness of who and where you are. She distinguishes between institutionalized religion and the spiritual longings every human has. While Huffington is 100% into mindfulness and meditation, you may find rest in other peaceful moments or practices, like prayer and contemplation.Though she earns her money in online media, the author values disconnecting from her devices, spend time with friends and family, get enough sleep and avoid becoming a real online media addict. Stop, stare and wonder. Life here on Earth's short, so live it fully. And, following Adam Grant 's Give & Take, Arianne also challenges her readers to give more. From this extensive pool of thoughts you may distill lots of lessons to change your thinking, beliefs, workplace, and life for a better cause.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is so easy to read and yet offers such a rich amount of depth and wisdom. It is timely and informative, provocative and insightful. This book offers you ways to enhance your life and that is no small accomplishment! Great book!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Fun book and NPH made it interesting, I looking forward his new work
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Touching, hilarious stories. I laughed out loud so many times while listening to this on the bus. The book is about NPH, but it's far more encompassing than some other autobiographies in that it is filled with so much love and credit for everyone in NPH's life. Great read (listen?)!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Yet another reason to love NPH!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It had a few interesting parts that were clever and witty. Overall this entire book feels like a story about his sexual orientation. It's like he's obsessed with talking about it and taking every single little opportunity to work it in. I would love a book that is mostly about other aspects of his life, the more interesting parts. To be honest I don't really care if he's gay. Also, he gives you these weird choices in the "choose your own adventure" style, where one choice is what really happened and the other is so far out and absurd that the comedy is completely leached out.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5loved it!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I received this as a First-reads winner, and, as I had mixed emotions about Huffington and the subject matter, I was curious to read it. I liked it far more than I thought I would! (If I could have provided another half star, I would have.) Anything that smacks of self-help or what a wonder life can be and etc. never appeals to the cynic in me. This was interesting and well done, however—although I still find the author too much of a self-promoter to suit me, even if I like her current politics.
