In this book, Arianna Huffington rebuts – and extends – the debate launched with Sheryl Sandberg’s international bestsellerm ‘Lean In’, arguing that a successful life is made up of more than just money and success and must also include what she calls ‘The Third Metric’: personal care, health, and fulfilment.
