What if everything you were taught about success was a lie?
We are told from a young age that success means more-more titles, more trophies, more money, more hours, more sacrifices. But what happens when all of that ""more"" leaves us with less? Less joy. Less health. Less connection.
In Unlearning Success, Reggie Kaur invites readers on a deeply personal and universal journey to redefine what it means to live a fulfilled life. Drawing from her own unconventional path-from medical school and healthcare leadership to launching a celebrated restaurant, traveling to eighty-six countries, and creating music that blends rhythm, rebellion, and activism-Kaur shows that success isn't about climbing higher, but aligning deeper.
Through vivid storytelling, hard-earned wisdom, and practical insights, she uncovers why so many high achievers feel exhausted, empty, and burned out, even when they seem to ""have it all."" This book is not a rejection of ambition-it's a reclamation of joy, clarity, and presence.
Whether you are an executive questioning your path, a professional navigating burnout, or someone who feels like life looks good on the outside but hollow on the inside, Unlearning Success offers a radical, refreshing framework. Kaur introduces her Burnout Alchemy(TM) method, blending ancient practices of yoga, Ayurveda, meditation, and breathwork with modern coaching and leadership tools. The result is a guide to not only surviving success, but actually living with energy, resilience, and meaning.
With courage, poetry, and practicality, Unlearning Success dares you to pause, reflect, and realign your definition of achievement with your deepest values. It's not about doing less-it's about living more intentionally.
If you've ever wondered, ""Is this all there is?""-this book is your answer
