We are in the midst of a sleep deprivation crisis, and this has profound consequences on our health, our job performance, our relationships and our happiness. In this book, Arianna Huffington boldly asserts that what is needed is nothing short of a sleep revolution. Only by renewing our relationship with sleep can we take back control of our lives.Through a sweeping, scientifically rigorous and deeply personal exploration of sleep from all angles, Arianna delves into the new golden age of sleep science that reveals the vital role sleep plays in our every waking moment and every aspect of our health from weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease to cancer and Alzheimer s. In The Sleep Revolution, Arianna shows how our cultural dismissal of sleep as time wasted not only compromises our health and our decision-making but also undermines our work lives, our personal lives and even our sex lives. She explores all the latest science on what exactly is going on while we sleep and dream. She takes on the dangerous sleeping pill industry and confronts all the ways our addiction to technology disrupts our sleep. She also offers a range of recommendations and tips from leading scientists on how we can achieve better and more restorative sleep, and harness its incredible power.In today's fast-paced, always-connected, perpetually harried and sleep-deprived world, our need for a good night s sleep is more important and elusive than ever. The Sleep Revolution both sounds the alarm on our worldwide sleep crisis and provides a detailed road map to the great sleep awakening that can help transform our lives, our communities and our world.

Arianna Huffington er kendt for at have grundlagt og opbygget internetmediet Huffington Post, som hun nu er bestyrelsesformand for. Men i 2007 kollapsede hun og faldt om derhjemme på grund af overanstrengelse. Denne dramatiske hændelse fik hende til at stoppe op, genoverveje formålet med sin tilværelse – og skrive en bog om sine nye erkendelser.At leve – Arianna Huffingtons metode til succes: trivsel, visdom, forundring og gavmildhed (amerikansk: Thrive) er resultatet. Bogen har gået sin sejrsgang over hele den engelsksprogede verden, hvor den ved udgivelsen lå på bestsellerlisterne hos samtlige medier og boghandlere i månedsvis.Arianna Huffington, som er blevet kaldt en af verdens mest indflydelsesrige kvinder, blev af sit kollaps tvunget til at stoppe op – og erkendte, at hun ikke kunne fortsætte ad hverken samme spor eller i samme gear. Hun skriver selv, at den meget personlige bog handler om ”hvordan jeg på den hårde måde lærte at træde et skridt tilbage og undlade at være så fanget af mit travle liv, at jeg helt gik glip af selve livets mysterium.”Huffington gør i processen op med, at succes og penge er de eneste mål i livet. Mål, som hun tidligere styrede efter og vurderede højt. Hun kommer frem til fire nye pejlemærker: trivsel, visdom, forundring og gavmildhed. Og Arianna Huffington er en kvinde, der går all in. Hun ændrer sit liv.Bogen indeholder en lang række fine eksempler og fortællinger, der viser, hvordan Huffington og andre håndterer at forny pejlemærker og finde nye metoder og mål i livet – ligesom hun griber tilbage til de græske filosoffer (og sin græske baggrund) for at finde måder at efterleve de nye værdier på.
