The greatest pains, like the greatest rewards, are not physical.

All around us we see lives that look picture perfect—no evidence of a problem, no apparent reasons for pain. Yet our modern population experiences disconnection and depression in a way never before documented in human history. Do we have to put a baseball bat through the flawless, reflective exterior of our lives and break everything apart to make it right, or is there another way?

The Enjoyment Gap explores this problem, bringing it into plain sight with an integrated model of realization that includes both dimensions of a life well-lived. The author shares the components of a capable method, including a 4-Key Strategy, for bringing closure to the universally relatable experience of “having it all but not feeling happy.”

Mandy’s book is a compelling and actionable guide that will help you:
  • Know exactly what the Enjoyment Gap is, why it happens, and what causes it,
  • See a clear path to resolve this problem and understand what that requires,
  • Reallocate time toward activities with more meaningful impact,
  • Capitalize on the real opportunity this challenge contains & do your life’s greatest work yet.

Mandy Barbee Lanier, M.A. is a performance coach and expert in human transformation with deep experience in operations and strategy. She has helped hundreds of outwardly successful people finally see in themselves what others saw all along and materially cash in on their investments. If you’ve achieved apparent success, but haven’t unlocked its intrinsic rewards yet, the Enjoyment Gap is the only thing standing in the way of an indestructible type of happiness that is possible for all of us.

It's So Much More Than Minding the Gap!

It's So Much More Than Minding the Gap!
It wasn’t long into Lanier’s The enjoyment Gap that I realized she readily accepts our shared humanity and at the same time the necessity to personally examine our individual humaness. With relatable anecdotes and quotes from popular characters she vividly paints pictures of the struggles to embrace well-deserved joy that should emanate from personal achievements and accomplishments.Beyond identifying the problem, she establishes three sequential paradigms to mend and close the gap: a way to make the vessel that is each of us to not to be an open sieve that enjoyment slips through. She instructs us in the function of agony and the mindfulness of focusing. Thankfully she does not endorse denying or deleting pain: rather, step by step she urges we readers to move from awareness and resolution to enjoyment.The Enjoyment Gap is a well-researched and personal guide to discovering your personal joy and happiness. It’s a must read!

With insightful words and impactful strategic guidance, Mandy Barbee Lanier maps a path to explore the roots of complex unease and anxiety, ways to reckon with that, and how to then open the door to greater happiness. Profound and enlightening, readable and humanizing, The Enjoyment Gap captured my attention like few books in this genre have. Even the author’s hand-drawn charts and graphs conveyed just the right welcoming tone, almost as if you were sitting together having a thoughtful conversation.

This was the most thought-provoking book I have ever read, in the best way possible. Mandy B. Lanier does an incredible job at walking the reader through their current self while also giving them all of the tools to see their future selves. When struggling with feeling confident and happy with the success I regularly find myself achieving, The Enjoyment Gap allowed me to understand why I don't always feel that internal success and what I need to do in order to truly feel it and embrace it. Really great read, will recommend to all, both personally and professionally!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Keys to Crafting a Satisfying + Meaningful Life Are Here

I loved the author's framework for closing the enjoyment gap -- the space between achieving external success and actually experiencing a rich, joyful life. She takes readers through the four keys: honoring, clarity, completion, and realization. At the end, she ties it all together with a section on resolution, writing that the change we want to see in the world starts with us; when we heal ourselves, we show up ready to offer healing, peace, and harmony to others. The client stories were a highlight as well--they were engaging and beautifully illustrated each of the concepts in action. Highly recommend.

If you’re feeling a sense of unease even after reaching your goals, this book is for you.

Mandy takes the time to not only deconstruct why it is that we have so much trouble enjoying success, but most importantly lays out a structure for doing the important work to address it.

Filled with stories that will resonate and tactical application that will transform, this is a must read for anyone who finds a pain they can’t explain and seeks support on the road to self-discovery.

an absolute game-changer and easily deservs five stars! If you're like me and you've ever wodered why you're not as happy as you think you should be, despite having all the "right" things, this book is for you.

Mandy Barbee Lanier really gets it. Her background as a performance coach shines through as she tackles the comon yet often overlooked issue of feeling unfulfilled. The book is super insightful and relatable, filled with personal stories that make the scientific research and her 4-Key Strategy approchable and easy to understand.

What I loved most is how actionable her adice is. It's one thing to read about what's going wrong, but Mandy gives you real, practical steps to start making changes. She talks about reallocating your time to activities that have more meaning and shows you how to close that pesky Enjoyment Gap.

Honestly, by the end of the book, I didn't just understand the concept of the Enjoyment Gap—I felt equipped and motivated to tackle it head-on. It's a must-r=ead for anyone who's achieved outward success but hasn’t found the happiness they expected. This book might just be the push you need to start making the most out of your life!
