About Claire
Claire Booth was a successful but stressed-out market research entrepreneur and executive suffering from what she calls “achiever fever”— constant striving coupled with chronic feelings of inadequacy. Sick and tired of feeling miserable, self-help skeptic Booth decided to try anything that might bring relief, from mindfulness to martial arts, from spending ten days in silence to “smiling” at her spleen. At first, she was fearful that slowing down and softening up would mean losing her professional edge. Instead, she discovered a more joyful and purposeful life, one that also turned out to be good for business.
