X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Join us as we chat with&nbsp\;New York Tim
 es&nbsp\;bestselling author Adam Alter about his new book&nbsp\;Anatomy of
  a Breakthrough: How to Get Unstuck When It Matters Most.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>A
 lmost everyone feels stuck in some way. Whether you&rsquo\;re muddling thr
 ough a midlife crisis\, wrestling with writer&rsquo\;s block\, trapped in 
 a thankless job\, or trying to remedy a fraying friendship\, the resulting
  emotion is usually a mix of anxiety\, uncertainty\, fear\, anger\, and nu
 mbness. But it doesn&rsquo\;t have to be this way.&nbsp\;Anatomy of a Brea
 kthrough&nbsp\;is the roadmap we all need to escape our inertia and flouri
 sh in the face of friction.</p>\n<p>The solution to becoming unstuck rests
  on a process that Alter calls a friction audit&mdash\;a systematic proced
 ure that uncovers why a person or organization is stuck and then suggests 
 a path to progress. The friction audit states that people and organization
 s get unstuck when they overcome three sources of friction: HEART (unhelpf
 ul emotions)\; HEAD (unhelpful patterns of thought)\; and HABIT (unhelpful
  behaviors).</p>\n<p>Artfully weaving together scientific studies\, anecdo
 tes\, and interviews\, Alter teaches us that getting stuck is a feature ra
 ther than a glitch on the road to thriving\, but with the right tweaks and
  corrections\, we can reach even our loftiest targets.</p>\n<p>About the A
