The Practice of Groundedness
A Transformative Path to Success That Feeds--Not Crushes--Your Soul
Book • 2021
In this book, Brad Stulberg presents a healthier model for success that counters the 'always-on' hustle culture.
Groundedness, the central concept, values presence over productivity, accepts nonlinear progress, and prioritizes long-term fulfillment.
The book interweaves case studies, modern science, and ancient wisdom from Buddhism, Stoicism, and Taoism to teach readers how to cultivate a more grounded life.
Key practices include accepting where you are, being present, developing patience, embracing vulnerability, building deep community, and focusing on the process rather than outcomes.
