"With his pioneering research, Corey Keyes put languishing on the map. In this powerful book, he brings it to life. Get ready to rethink your understanding of mental health, update your views on happiness, and come closer to realizing your potential." - Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential. If you're muddling through the day in a fog, often forgetting why you walked into a room . . . If you feel emotionally flattened, lacking the energy to socialize or feel joy in the small things . . . If you feel an inner void - like something is missing, but you aren't sure what . . . . Then this book is for you.. Languishing - the state of mental weariness that erodes our self-esteem, motivation, and sense of meaning - can be easy to brush off as the new normal, especially since indifference is one of its symptoms.
