Success Myth

The Success Myth, published by Penguin in 2023, is a manifesto by best-selling author Emma Gannon. Having taken a deep look at her own journey, and interviewing many other successful people on her podcast Ctrl, Alt, Delete (10m+ downloads), Emma realised that our overly celebrated and traditional version of success is making us lonely, unfulfilled and dispirited. Now she has worked out a way to do things differently, and here Emma shares her hard-won lessons, including:

• How to set goals that are ambitious but not overwhelming
• Why the ‘tick-box’ moments in life often feel anticlimactic
• And how to break free from comparison and the endless pursuit of more

A manifesto to craft work (and life) on your own terms, The Success Myth will give you the belief and tools to walk away from ‘having it all’, uncovering your individual path to fulfilment.
