Return on Ambition is an insightful and practical guide for anyone who wants to reach and sustain success and fulfilment. More than 50% of ambitious people struggle with balancing their achievement, growth, and well-being. And 4 out of 10 doubt whether their efforts are worth it. However, it doesn’t have to be this way.
Best-selling authors Nielsen and Tillisch have studied high performing and successful, ambitious people for more than 5 years and found common patterns of behavior and thought. They have first-hand experience from some of the most ambitious environments in the world, having worked at McKinsey & Company and with over 30 Fortune 500 companies. Return on Ambition reveals their insights and includes tips and lessons learned from Elon Musk, Arianna Huffington, Pharrell Williams, and Axel Hedfors, among others.
The methodology outlined in this book can help you reach and sustain higher degrees of success and fulfillment, and can be applied regardless of your ambition, professional focus, or age.
If you’re ambitious, Return on Ambition is for you.

Review
“Ambition can be a corrosive power that ultimately ruins our joys, or, with the help of this wise and practical guide, can be the fuel for forging beautiful lives of accomplishment and connection.” —Jennifer Garvey Berger, Cofounder of Cultivating Leadership and author of Unlocking Leadership Mindtraps and Changing on the Job
“Leaders everywhere are facing increasingly uncertain and volatile operating environments and must continue to evolve at a commensurate pace. Return on Ambition provides a practical toolbox to help leaders better understand their motivations, uncover mindsets that do not serve them, and embark on a continuous development journey to stay ahead of the curve.” —Claudio Feser, Former McKinsey & Company senior partner, founding member of McKinsey’s Leadership Development practice, and author of Serial Innovators, When Execution Isn’t Enough, and Leadership at Scale
“Return on Ambition helps readers answer three fundamental questions about their life: What is my ambition, what gets in the way of my ambition, and how can I improve my return on ambition?
