Learn to identify plateaus and break through any stagnancy in your life-- from diet and exercise, to work, to relationships.

The book identifies three key flattening forces that generate plateaus, two principles to guide readers in engineering a plateaus destruction, and three actions to take to achieve peak behavior. It helps us to stop wasting time on things that are no longer of value and to focus on the things that leverage our time and energy in spectacular ways.
