Antonini, a software engineer with experience working in the financial and insurance industries (who also holds degrees in pharmacy and technology), lays out clear and practical advice to help readers adapt to uncertainty and overcome life\u2019s challenges. Likening the human system to a computer, Antonini outlines her trademarked concept of the \u201cThrivegorithm\u201d\u2014the process the mind uses to interpret and react to information\u2014and how it can be \u201cdebugged\u201d to improve one\u2019s life. This algorithm is the inner logic that runs your operating system, which she defines as resourcefulness. Supported by scientific evidence and research, the author presents practical steps and exercises to help readers transform limits into strengths, manage motivation (which Antonini compares to a bank account, subject to deposits and withdrawals), determine a reason for being (the Japanese concept of ikigai), and ultimately reach the final upgrade to become the best versions of themselves. Filled with tables and visualizations to help readers better conceptualize and absorb the material, the text culminates in a 30-day resourcefulness challenge that details day-by-day actions readers can take toward betterment. Throughout the book, the author uses real-life examples of well-known figures (including Thomas Edison, Serena Williams, and Nelson Mandela) who have adapted their mindsets to achieve their goals to illustrate the benefits of resourcefulness. Antonini presents their successes alongside beautifully written anecdotes from her own life and her emotionally compelling poetry. This combination of the personal and practical (\u201cThink of your motivation account like your operating system. If you\u2019re not patching the bugs\u2014such as negative self-talk, toxic bonds and poor health\u2014the system lags, crashes, or gets hijacked by malware\u201d) makes for a thoroughly memorable read.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
