If you're a woman struggling within the delusion of corporate feminism, an immigrant grappling with the pitfalls of the American Dream, and any other marginalized person with a vision trying to navigate the system, the ambition trap will too often find you. We want to grow, move to the next level, and have the life we desire, but often the cost is too great, and we don't realize it until we've footed the bill. The cost of admission can no longer be so great for us.

ABOUT THE BOOK
The anti-hustle guide to getting what you really want.
Most of us think ambition means doing everything in our power to get what we want. But this approach costs us our health and wellbeing, and ultimately upholds oppressive systems. In The Ambition Trap, leadership coach Amina AlTai shows you how to break the cycle of overwork once and for all—and finally create the greatest, most joy-filled work of your life.
The thing is, what most of us really want isn't money or accolades, but acceptance, security, and belonging. When we use external metrics to fulfill these internal wounds and desires nothing ends up being enough, so we work harder and longer in a never-ending cycle--and therein lies the ambition trap. It turns out, we get to have more of what we want when we anchor our ambition to our purpose and not our pain.
Drawing on her work with Fortune 500 leaders, Olympic gold medalists, start-up founders, and former "girlbosses," AlTai guides you through the process of reconciling your ambition, starting with healing the core wounds and insecurities currently driving you. Along the way, she introduces actionable strategies for aligning your work with your deepest "why," leaning into your most natural gifts, nourishing yourself in the long-term pursuit of your goals, setting a sustainable pace, and allowing contentment to guide the way.
It turns out, ambition isn't a dirty word but an invitation to design your life with even greater purpose, meaning, and joy.
