The Eastern Path to Lifelong Achievement by George Leonard reveals that the greatest success comes not from obsessively pursuing short-term goals, but from living fully in the present and dedicating yourself to a never-ending path of mastery.

No matter what you wish to become a master of — business, athletics, relationships, education, the arts, or any other pursuit — you can follow the Eastern Path to achieve levels of mastery you never before thought possible. Unlike quick-fix schemes promising instant success, Leonard draws on Eastern philosophy and the art of Aikido to show you a deeper, more fulfilling approach to excellence.

In this program, you will discover:

  • Five fundamental principles of mastery that apply to any field or endeavor
  • How to harness "Chi," your life force energy, for greater focus and vitality
  • The power of the beginner's mindset to unlock new levels of achievement
  • Why finding joy in deliberate practice is the key to lasting success
  • Aikido-inspired exercises for cultivating physical and mental balance
  • How to overcome the common obstacles on the mastery journey

Along the way, you will find that nothing can match the joy of learning new skills, tapping unrealized potential, and developing your talents on your lifelong journey toward mastery.
