3-2-1: On the hidden costs of success, how to deal with challenges, and the joy of shared experiences
There are at least three ways people seek success: Relative, Personal Maximization, and Community Maximization. In our own lives, we may default to one of these orientations at different times and areas in our lives. How we each seek success at work, in our family, or through philanthropy may look very different.
I trace the difficulty and anguish to the human propensity to make comparisons. Instead of diving into who they are and what that means for their work, people look to those who seem to be successful and seem to have passion in their lives.
