The Butterfly Impact: Resilience, Resets, and Ripples

by Mark Briggs

Do you feel like your work and your personal life are pulling you in opposite directions? Like the more you’re there for one, the less you’re there for the other? After his family was torn apart—twice—former journalist Mark Briggs launched a full-scale investigation into work-life balance. What he discovered was a surprising framework of small, simple changes that can send powerful ripple effects throughout your life—both at work and at home. In researching The Butterfly Impact , Mark interviewed over one hundred people at the prime of their careers—including industry leaders at Starbucks, Facebook, Google, Amazon, REI, The Gates Foundation, Good Morning America , and Gonzaga University's legendary basketball team. Here, you’ll read their relatable stories of resilience, grit, and triumph. Each chapter also includes practical activities to help you develop your own balance, excelling in your career while thriving in your personal life. If you’re ready to show up fully at work and be fully present at home for what matters most, The Butterfly Impact is for you.
