A Wall Street Journal Bestseller
Your personal goals need a long-term strategy.
It's no secret that we're pushed to the limit. Today's professionals feel rushed, overwhelmed, and perennially behind. So we keep our heads down, focused on the next thing, and the next, without a moment to breathe.
How can we break out of this endless cycle and create the kind of interesting, meaningful lives we all seek?
Just as CEOs who optimize for quarterly profits often fail to make the strategic investments necessary for long-term growth, the same is true in our own personal and professional lives. We need to reorient ourselves to see the big picture so we can tap into the power of small changes that, made today, will have an enormous and disproportionate impact on our future success. We need to start playing The Long Game.
As top business thinker and Duke University professor Dorie Clark explains, we all know intellectually that lasting success takes persistence and effort. And yet so much of the relentless pressure in our culture pushes us toward doing what's easy, what's guaranteed, or what looks glamorous in the moment. In The Long Game, she argues for a different path. It's about doing small things over time to achieve our goals—and being willing to keep at them, even when they seem pointless, boring, or hard.
In The Long Game, Clark shares unique principles and frameworks you can apply to your specific situation, as well as vivid stories from her own career and other professionals' experiences. Everyone is allotted the same twenty-four hours—but with the right strategies, you can leverage those hours in more efficient and powerful ways than you ever imagined. It's never an overnight process, but the long-term payoff is immense: to finally break out of the frenetic day-to-day routine and transform your life and your career.

This book has helped me manage my expectations for what is possible and what is probably in the first few years as an author, trainer, and small business owner.
If you want to become an expert in a topic, field, or industry, you should read this book. This is not a silver bullet or get rich quick book - in fact it is the opposite. The content provides a roadmap for how making long term decisions in networking, professional relationships, and strategy.
I received an early copy of the book about 3 months before the official release. Following the advice hasn't made me megabucks (yet!) but it has given me structure and ways to identify the most valuable use of my time. The ideas, tips, and tools in this book have already helped me focus on long term value. I'm thinking about the next 5 years but it's nice to be already seeing positive results and it's only been 3 months.
As a small business owner in a competitive market I sometimes feel that if I don’t see results immediately then it’s likely I’ll never see them given the pace of change in my industry. Nevertheless, after reading the book I am convinced that the long game is the only one worth playing, not only to survive in your professional life but to build a solid career and thrive.
As with all her books, Dorie’s writing style is engaging, humorous and a pleasure to read. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to become more strategic in their lives and businesses or careers.
This book will teach you to aim for something bigger, something you'll love and it will show you how it's possible to get there.
When I was nearing the end of trading this book, I went online and booked a marathon for me to do in Rome next year. No I'm not a runner, yes I'm overweight, but by putting that event Into my calendar, I'm going to start the small steps now and achieve my goal.
Thanks Dorie
