We all want to flourish. We want to create harmony, well-being and joy in our lives and those around us. The question is, how?Daniel Coyle has spent the last six years researching and visiting 'holistic hotbeds': groups, teams, businesses, and communities which have, accidentally or on purpose, created deep, thriving relationships that generate high levels of shared success and well-being. From a small town in Vermont that has produced 11 Olympians over the past 40 years - where most of the Olympians return to live and work after their athletic careers are over - to a Michigan deli that accidentally grew into a $70 million business. And from a grassroots organization in an impoverished Kenyan settlement that has produced Ivy League students, to a successful multi-billion dollar company that functions like an extended family.Coyle discovered that all these groups flourish using three skills, which form the three parts of this book. In Skill 1 - The Surrendering - we'll learn about our brain's holistic-awareness system and how to use it to create connection and belonging. In Skill 2 - The Unleashing - we'll learn how creating small instabilities can ignite energy, ownership, and self-organizing action toward a shared horizon. In Skill 3 - The Deep Fun - we'll learn how audacious experiments can generate new versions of yourself and your group.The overarching idea is that flourishing is created by a matrix of quiet but powerful group interactions that create interdependence, energy and growth. Flourishing isn't a puzzle you solve alone; it's a set of living relationships that generate the shared capability to shape your future, together.

On a fateful night in 2009, Tyler Hamilton and Daniel Coyle met for dinner at a restaurant in Boulder, Colorado. The two had met five years before while Coyle was writing his bestselling book, Lance Armstrong: Tour de Force. But this time, Tyler had something else on his mind. He finally wanted to come clean, about everything: the doping, the lying, his years as Lance Armstrong''s teammate on U.S. Postal, his decade spent running from the truth. ''I''m sorry,'' he told Coyle. ''It just feels so good to be able to talk about this. I''ve been quiet for so many years.'' Over the next eighteen months, Hamilton would tell his story – and his sport''s story – in explosive detail, never sparing himself in the process. In a way, he became as obsessed with telling the truth as he had been with winning the Tour de France just a few years before. The result of this determination is The Secret Race, a book that pulls back the curtain and takes us into the secret world of professional cycling like never before. A world populated by unbelievably driven – and some flawed – characters. A world where the competition used every means to get an edge, and the options were stark. A world where it often felt like there was no choice.
