À propos de cet audio
The anti-hustle guide to getting what you really want
AN OPEN FIELD PUBLICATION FROM MARIA SHRIVER
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, leadership coach Amina AlTai shows you how to break the cycle of overwork once and for all—and finally create the greatest, most joy-filled work of your life.
The thing is, what most of us really want isn’t money or accolades, but acceptance, security, and belonging. When we use external metrics to fulfill these internal wounds and desires nothing ends up being enough, so we work harder and longer in a never-ending cycle—and therein lies the ambition trap. It turns out, we get to have more of what we want when we anchor our ambition to our purpose and not our pain.
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.
It turns out, ambition isn’t a dirty word but an invitation to design your life with even greater purpose, meaning, and joy.

"The Ambition Trap is a paradigm-shifter for anyone who’s ever felt caught between desire and self-doubt. . . It boldly encourages us to embrace our gifts with confidence and unapologetic determination."—Gay Hendricks, author of Five Wishes and The Big Leap
"A glorious book for everyone looking to understand themselves and underlying societal systems that hold perceptions of ambition in place, Amina offers insight and actionable ideas for a new definition of your ambition and yourself."—Stacy London, stylist, designer, midlife advocate, and New York Times bestselling author of The Truth About Style
"Amina’s book is a beautiful offering for those looking to explore their fullest potential and to do so with wholeness and integrity. She shows us that these pieces are not mutually exclusive but essential components of how we can thrive."—Matt McGorry, actor, activist, and empowerment coach
The Ambition Trap is part coaching, part gentle call-in, and full of those moments where you want to pause and just breathe because something finally clicked. There was a point when I stopped and I started thinking what it would have been like for me if I had this book to give me "permission" to do things on my own terms. *mind blown*
This isn’t a “do less” kind of book, instead, it’s a “do what matters, and do it well” kind of book. And I highly recommend the audio version if you want the full vibe of Amina’s presence as she teaches.
