But there is a light at the end of the tunnel (at least for some): Rufus also tells the stories of people who managed to become unstuck or of others who, after much reflection, decided that where they are is best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e After all, she says: \"What looks to you like paralysis, looks perhaps to another like passion. What looks to you like a rut, others might say is true absorption in a topic, a relationship, a career, a pursuit, a place. What looks to you like boredom, others call commitment. Even contentment.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rare glimpse into what truly motivates - or doesn't motivate us - Stuck inspires readers to take a look at themselves in an entirely new light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e©2009 Anneli Rufus; (P)2009 Listen amp; Live Audio, Inc.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Listen \u0026 Live Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169525219568,"sku":"2940169076417","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169076417_p0.jpg?v=1763760104","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169076417","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
