About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The inspiration behind The New York Times' most read, most shared, and most cited article of 2021.
Do you feel demotivated and aimless?
Are you running on empty?
Is it hard to pinpoint what's wrong?
This is an experience millions of us are struggling with, and until now, we've lacked the vocabulary to understand it. But Dr Corey Keyes has identified this feeling as languishing, and here he draws on the latest research and real-life case studies to trace its spread to a level of global epidemic, asking the fundamental question of how we find lasting wellbeing.
Breaking down the science of emotional exhaustion, Keyes shows that our very obsession with happiness complicates the process of finding it. Only by shifting our focus from feeling good to functioning well can we unlock the key to flourishing. He reveals the choices and mental habits that inadvertently worsen the problem, and shares simple but powerful steps anyone can take to restore meaning, joy, and calm to their lives.
Languishing is a must-listen for anyone tempted to downplay the feelings of demotivation and emptiness they've been experiencing, to help them find true flourishing in our short time on earth.
'With his pioneering research, Corey Keyes put languishing on the map. In this powerful book, he brings it to life. Rethink your understanding of mental health, update your views on happiness and come closer to realizing your potential.'
Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential

Enjoyable, Educational and Enlightening
I don't understand the mediocre reviews on this book, I hesitated in my purchase because of them and I feel they are unfair. I enjoyed this book and listened to it over a couple of days. I will go back and listen again just to digest each chapter in isolation, and perhaps take notes.
I have not tried to access the PDF, though I note one review claimed it was not available. The content of these are discripted well in the book so you would still be able to complete the tasks.
I am really interested in this topic, and the book has ignited that.
as a British reader I found it quite American, but that is to. ge expected.

Starts well, tapers off.
The start is interesting, particularly the focus on different age groups. But pretty soon we get on to well trodden territory.

No PDF materials included
PDF inclusions described in the audiobook not included which is disappointing for what seems a good overview of the topic

Does not come with PDF
Had to return - he keeps talking about a questionnaire to see if you're languishing (I guess most people are?) but it's not included with the audible version.
