Des Moines Public Library business book pick: “Anatomy of a Breakthrough,” by Adam Alter

Why you should read it: This 2023 bestseller serves as a groundbreaking guide to “breaking free from the thoughts, habits, jobs, relationships and even business models” that can prevent us from reaching and achieving our full potential. If you feel stuck and trapped in a job or career, or even a relationship outside of work, this book shows how getting stuck can be a feature rather than a glitch, and with the right tweaks, everyone can work to reach their full potential.
