A timely and transformative new framework for success from a sought-after strategist, speaker, and author

The need to compete is deeply ingrained in every aspect of our lives and work. It’s often viewed as a positive: we are told it motivates us to do our best, to work hard, that it drives innovation and excellence. But, what if that’s a lie? What if in reality, competition causes more harm than good: exhaustion, anxiety, burnout, and an isolating lack of community. It encourages a scarcity mindset and keeps us from reaching our true potential.

Drawing on Ruchika’s own experiences working with corporations as a sought-after inclusion strategist, as well as interviews from business and community leaders and the latest research data, UNCOMPETE offers a new framework for building a culture of collaboration, solidarity, and mutuality. It’s a framework that yields not only a happier workplace, but a far more successful one, and it can transform our work and our lives. From showing us how to tap into our benign envy, to investigate our cultural norms, to cultivate a greater imagination, and rewrite the rules to lift everyone up, UNCOMPETE is a radical reset of our mindsets. It helps us cultivate abundance, find genuine joy in others’ victories, and embody the belief that there is room for all of us to succeed.

I found a lot of this book unrelatable as I grew up on a farm and I'm a farmer and the scarcity mindset described, the extreme urban lifestyle being surrounded by so many other people and competitiveness and being so completely disconnected from nature as your ruler meant I found a lot of the premise of the book extremely eye-opening. Ruchika describes a cultural world I have so little experience of and that prior to listening to this book I was significantly ignorant of. The second half of the book was my favorite. it sparked many revelations I hadn't considered before such as the geography of rest and how our ancestry affects this. Tonight I am joining an online book club and the Ruchika is hopefully going to attend and I can't wait to congratulate her on writing this book and and ask her to write another to further explore this realm of philosophy. I look forward to reading the next one!
