The Lemonade Life
How to Fuel Success, Create Happiness, and Conquer Anything
About the book
Zack Friedman's case for an extraordinary life rests on five internal switches that, he argues, the most successful people know how to flip, beyond hard work, talent and skill. Friedman, whose advice has reached more than fourteen million readers in Forbes, frames each day as a choice between a Lemon Life and a Lemonade Life. His stories include an entrepreneur who became a billionaire only after 5,126 failures, a 14th-century German monk linked to the reinvention of Domino's Pizza, and an ice cream truck driver who earned $110,237 in under an hour. Other lessons cover ikigai, writing oneself a $10 million check and what Judge Judy teaches about meetings.
Seth Godin endorsed it as practical, heartfelt wisdom for any stage of a career, and Marshall Goldsmith called Friedman an inspiring leader for a new generation.
