Arianna Huffington Celebrates New Book at The Jefferson

A group of well known reporters and journalists gathered at The Jefferson Hotel in Washington, D.C. to celebrate Arianna Huffington’s latest book, Thrive: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom, and Wonder. Hotel owner and businesswoman Connie Milstein hosted the party along with Gail MacKinnon and Rachel Pearson. 

Huffington, best known for her news website The Huffington Post, was inspired to write the book after spending time in the hospital due to a fall caused by exhaustion and a lack of sleep.

“The motivation for writing the book was my own burnout, and then looking around and seeing how many millions are burned out. And then, asking the questions that we stop asking after college, ‘What is the good life? What is success?’ And if you think about it, we define success, in search of these two metrics of money and power, and in this town, especially power. And this is like trying to sit on a two legged stool. Sooner or later you fall off. Nothing wrong with these two metrics. It’s just that you need the third leg of the stool,” Huffington said during the party.

Since The Jefferson underwent renovations and reopened in 2009 it has hosted a number of notable events, including a dinner between President Obama and GOP senators, a book launch for Mark Shriver’s A Good Man, and a farewell party for former United States Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano.
