A science-based, practical blueprint for cultivating a life—at work and at home—full of belonging, joy, and vitality, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Culture Code

What is a meaningful life, and how do we make one? How do certain communities foster closeness, fulfillment, happiness, and energy?

In Flourish, bestselling author and leading culture expert Daniel Coyle trains his eye on the groups and people who demonstrate exceptional connectivity, presence, and dynamism. He draws on research and original reporting—taking us inside an unlikely brotherhood of thirty-three men who were trapped in a Chilean mine, a tiny Michigan deli that blossomed into a $90 million ecosystem of businesses, an inventive Dutch soccer team that revolutionized the sport as we know it, and a disconnected Paris district that remade itself into a tight-knit neighborhood—to reveal the principles and practices that ignite and sustain thriving. He finds that flourishing groups do two things: They make meaning (creating deep connections) and build community (forging a common good).

Through captivating real-world stories, rigorous scientific studies, and firsthand accounts, Coyle reveals what sets some groups apart—and offers you the tools and insights to flourish in your own life.
“An eye-opening book about why certain people, projects, and places make us feel alive . . . With his signature combination of captivating cases, surprising science, and pristine prose, Daniel Coyle reveals how to build a more vibrant life.”—Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential and Think Again and host of the podcast Re:Thinking

“Combining rigorous science with unforgettable storytelling, Daniel Coyle traces connections across seemingly unrelated worlds to reveal the blueprint for building lives and communities that are rich with meaning. Flourish is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand—and cultivate—what makes life worth living.”—Lisa Damour, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Untangled and Under Pressure

“Daniel Coyle is one of my favorite writers, and in Flourish he redefines what we mean by a meaningful life. Faced with a personal loss and reckoning, he discovers a simple but profound idea: Flourishing isn’t something we find, it’s something we create. With compassion and clarity, Coyle shows that flourishing is a learnable craft.”—Charles Duhigg, New York Times bestselling author of Supercommunicators and The Power of Habit

“I loved Flourish. Every page of Daniel Coyle’s fascinating new book—informative and spiritual all at once—tells a story that will make you sit up and say, ‘Aha!’ You’ll recognize the good stuff in yourself within many of his stories, and with new tools, you can become an even more fulfilled version of the great person you already are.”—Danny Meyer, restaurateur and author of Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality in Business
