What is a meaningful life, and how do we make one? How do certain communities foster closeness, fulfillment, happiness, and energy?
In Flourish, bestselling author and leading culture expert Daniel Coyle trains his eye on the groups and people who demonstrate exceptional connectivity, presence, and dynamism. He draws on research and original reporting — taking us inside an unlikely brotherhood of thirty-three men who were trapped in a Chilean mine, a tiny Michigan deli that blossomed into a $90 million ecosystem of businesses, an inventive Dutch soccer team that revolutionized the sport as we know it, and a disconnected Paris district that remade itself into a tight-knit neighborhood — to reveal the principles and practices that ignite and sustain thriving. He finds that flourishing groups do two things: They make meaning (creating deep connections) and build community (forging a common good).
Through captivating real-world stories, rigorous scientific studies, and firsthand accounts, Coyle reveals what sets some groups apart — and offers you the tools and insights to flourish in your own life.

Is everything you've been taught about finding fulfillment wrong?
For decades, we've been told to follow our passion, find our purpose, and chase happiness. Yet even when you do everything right, work can still feel hollow. And in a world where AI can do more of what once made us valuable, the old playbook is not just outdated — it can point you in exactly the wrong direction.
In What's the Point?, #1 New York Times bestselling author Tom Rath — whose books from How Full Is Your Bucket? to StrengthsFinder 2.0 and Eat Move Sleep have shaped a generation — argues that fulfillment does not come from looking deeper inside yourself. It comes from what you contribute to other people. Your greatest daily superpower is not your title, your salary, or your personal brand. It is your ability to make life better for someone else — in ways no algorithm can replace.
Drawing on three decades of research and a life lived on borrowed time since a cancer diagnosis at age fifteen, Rath delivers his most personal and provocative book yet. He shows why passion is overrated, how old dreams can quietly hold you back, and why purpose is not something you find once and for all. It is something you build every day — in every meeting, every task, every role, and every relationship.
In this book, you'll learn how to:
This is not a feel-good pep talk. It is a direct challenge to stop sleepwalking through your career and start doing the work only you can do.
