From the New York Times bestselling author of The Age of Speed and The Ant and the Elephant comes an all-new parable to help you break free from feeling stuck and bounce back after a crisis.
 
"Life has its ups and downs; however, we should never give up hope . . . The Earthquake will inspire many to meet the difficult challenges of life."
—Dalai Lama

The Earthquake is a must read for anyone looking to find their way to sustained hope. Use this book to find specific solutions to the setback you’re currently facing or to help others bounce back from their personal earthquake.

This parable will help readers to:

Reframe dark times as illuminating experiences

Resist the impulse to go it alone

Find fresh perspectives

Seek a path where you can enjoy the journey 

In this entertaining modern-day fable, Vince Poscente introduces us to the well-intentioned, conscious ant and the habitually fearful, subconscious elephant as seismic destruction changes their world and ultimately forces them to leave their oasis. 

What Adir the ant and Elgo the elephant learn—and what you’ll learn by journeying with them—is the linear path they used to reach the oasis in The Ant and the Elephant does not work in the chaos after an earthquake. How can they breakthrough and thrive after a life-altering setback? 
  
This book offers prescriptive advice, and is based on Poscente’s study of practices including:

decoding human behavior

the neuroscience of performance

interpersonal dysfunction around fear
