Winning the game of life but still not happy?

The traditional path to happiness has always started with being successful first: “Get a job, make money, be successful, then have fun.” Some go-getters achieve the greatest of success, only to be left feeling empty, wondering whether that’s all life has in store for them. Many continue to hustle, searching for the endgame and struggling with constant burnout. But there are a few who are genuinely happy and successful. What makes them different? What do they do that everyone else doesn’t?

The 1up Effect reveals why the traditional game of success is rigged and how people can stop playing by those rules. Instead, people will discover how to design their own game of life using the four powerful principles of lasting fulfillment. Drawing from his personal life, sixteen-plus years of professional experience, research, and a great passion for games, Thomas Edwards shows people how to level up sustainably in every area of life.

The result? A game of life they actually enjoy playing-and can even win.
