The Ambition Trap

"This is the book I wish I had when I was starting out and even when I was knee-deep thinking success was the be-all and end-all." MARIA SHRIVER

The Ambition Trap is a game- changing work that aids readers in rewriting ambition
on their own terms. This book is a fresh take on what it means to have enough and
how we build careers, lives, and legacies in more connected and fulfilling ways.

The Ambition Trap is a paradigm- shifter for anyone who's ever felt caught between
desire and self- doubt. With compassion and clarity, this book reframes ambition . . .
as an inherent right everyone is entitled to claim. . . . It reveals how ambition, when
grounded in authenticity, can ignite powerful cultural transformations. The Ambition
Trap goes beyond granting permission to dream big- it boldly encourages us to
embrace our gifts with confidence and unapologetic determination.

In Amina AlTai's glorious new book, she allows us to reframe our relationship to
ambition, particularly the vilification of it, to embrace a more positive version. . . . For
everyone looking to understand themselves and underlying societal systems that hold
perceptions of ambition in place, AlTai offers insight and actionable ideas for a new
definition of your ambition and yourself.

Amina AlTai challenges the notion that ambition has to mean sacrificing our wellbeing.
This book is for anyone tired of the hustle and ready to create meaningful
work and a life they truly love.

In The Ambition Trap, Amina AlTai redefines what it means to succeed in a world
dominated by hustle culture. . . . For anyone ready to step off the treadmill and live a
life of true achievement and joy, The Ambition Trap is the inspiring roadmap you've
been waiting for.
