The Earthquake: Your Journey from Setback to Breakthrough Audiobook

Personal catastrophes are like an earthquake: they leave us too shaken to know what to do next, afraid that every step we take might spark another upheaval. But we can learn to resist our human instinct to hide from challenges. In this entertaining modern-day fable, Vince Poscente introduces us to the well-intentioned, conscious ant and the habitually fearful, subconscious elephant as seismic destruction changes their world and ultimately forces them to leave their oasis.

What Adir the ant and Elgo the elephant learn—and what you'll learn by journeying with them—is that the linear path they used to reach the oasis in The Ant and the Elephant does not work in the chaos after an earthquake. How can they breakthrough and thrive after a life-altering setback? The answer lies in the "Solution Loop," a tool that teaches them to use collaboration, curiosity, and creativity to: reframe dark times as illuminating experiences; resist the impulse to go it alone; find fresh perspectives; and eek a path where you can enjoy the journey.

The methodology is told using the time-honored method of a parable. Offering prescriptive advice, and based on Poscente's study of practices like decoding human behavior, the neuroscience of performance, and interpersonal dysfunction around fear, The Earthquake is a must-listen.
