Summary
How does a 'success addiction' sound? It seems that a lot of us are addicted to the relentless pursuit of success to our own detriment: We do anything and everything we can to get a dopamine hit that comes from checking things off our to-do list, yet we never get much closer to experiencing success on a genuine level. In this episode, I'm talking about the importance of living a life that feels to you personally and professionally. You'll also learn about defining what success looks like for you and how to do it so you can jump off the hamster wheel of success and start pursuing a life you truly want right away.
What's In This Episode:
The big issue when it comes to success
Redefining what success looks like for you
How to find success in your family, emotional, and intellectual life

| 0:56.2 | talk about the relentless pursuit of alcohol? Ooh, very different feeling, right? You likely would |
| 1:04.4 | have expected a depressing episode. Maybe about a person in a downward alcoholic spiral doesn't sound motivating at all. |
