About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Curating Your Life by Gail Golden, read by Sandra Murphy.

Choosing the things you keep in your life and where you focus your energy is doable, and Gail Golden shows you how.

Curating your life means selecting those activities that are most important, meaningful, and joyful for you and fiercely focusing your energy on those endeavors. It also means putting a whole bunch of stuff in the back room, to be reconsidered at another time.

Curating your life means sorting your activities into three categories:

The things you are not going to do, at least not right now

The things you will be mediocre at

The things you will be great at

This is not simple. But the payoff is amazing. Living a well-curated life is doable. You get to succeed at the things that really matter to you, and you still get to enjoy life. Join Gail Golden on a tour of how to curate your life for success, happiness, and fulfillment.

Critic reviews

Gail Golden’s book, Curating Your Life, provides inspiration and guidance about how to live a life of productivity and joy. Her chapter on “re-curating” reinforces some of the ideas in the new book I’m writing about constantly reinventing yourself and not turning into a “used-to-be.” Packed with wisdom, facts, and wonderful stories, this book is a must-read. (Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times #1 bestselling author of "Triggers," "Mojo," and "What Got You Here Won’t Get You There")
Gail Golden’s Curating Your Life reminds us all that nobody has it all, but when you refocus your energy, you can do anything better. Golden’s strategies for identifying what you are best at and harnessing your energy capacity will inspire you to lead a more productive life. (Fred Cook, Chairman, Golin, Director of the USC Center for PR)
Enough with work/life balance! It never existed. Instead, performance coach Gail Golden teaches us to “curate our lives.” She proposes that we make the tough choices, so we focus our energy on the tasks that make us most productive and joyful. This book is for everyone from senior executives to early-career employees who want to maximize their impact and still have fun. (Laurel Bellows, Managing Principal, The Bellows Law Group, Former President, American Bar Association)
Gail Golden shows us the pathways to focusing our energy to be both more productive and more fulfilled. (Andy Polansky, Chairman and CEO, Interpublic’s Constituency Management Group (CMG) and Executive Chairman, Weber Shandwick)
