After reading Thrive, do you think technology is a helpful tool or a distracting crutch? How practical is Arianna Huffington’s overall plea to disconnect more often? Use specific quotes from the text in your discussion.

Huffington frequently draws upon Greek myth, using Aristotle, Stoicism, the myth of Theseus & the Minotaur, and more to demonstrate how a truly successful life should be lived. Analyze specific examples where ancient wisdom is applied to modern life in at least two pillars of Third Metric living and discuss their impact on the relevant section’s theme.

Ariadne’s thread is a central metaphor in the wonder section of Thrive. How does the concept of finding one’s thread relate to the pursuit of wisdom and inner fulfillment? Explore the role of self-discovery and introspection in the context of building a life filled with wonder. Use examples from the book to illustrate your points.
