X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Almost everyone feels stuck in some way. W
 hether you&rsquo\;re muddling through a midlife crisis\, wrestling with wr
 iter&rsquo\;s block\, trapped in a thankless job\, or trying to remedy a f
 raying friendship\, the resulting emotion is usually a mix of anxiety\, un
 certainty\, fear\, anger\, and numbness. But it doesn&rsquo\;t have to be 
 this way.&nbsp\;<em>Anatomy of a Breakthrough</em>&nbsp\;is the roadmap we
  all need to escape our inertia and flourish 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 procedure that uncovers why a person o
 r organization is stuck and then suggests a path to progress. The friction
  audit states that people and organizations get unstuck when they overcome
  three sources of friction: HEART (unhelpful emotions)\; HEAD (unhelpful p
 atterns of thought)\; and HABIT (unhelpful behaviors).</p>\n<p>Artfully we
 aving together scientific studies\, anecdotes\, and interviews\, Alter tea
 ches us that getting stuck is a feature rather than a glitch on the road t
 o thriving\, but with the right tweaks and corrections\, we can reach even
  our loftiest targets.</p>\n<h5>About the Author</h5>\n<p>Adam Alter is a
