Why are so many high-achievers unhappy?
Send this to a friend who needs the answers. They will thank you.
At age 26, I was entertaining millions, playing sports arenas, and enjoying the adoration of music fans in a dozen countries. I was also depressed.
Most high achievers similarly admired, respected, and prosperous face this tension at one point or another. How they come out of it determines the difference between a premature plateau followed by a totally avoidable decline and a continued rise to a higher quality of life, happiness, and exponential impact.
Everything changed for me through a combination of biblical wisdom, breakthrough discoveries in brain science/social sciences in the last 30 years, and some serious coaching by my early mentors. For the last 25 years of my life, in spite of some inevitable suffering, I have enjoyed peace, deep friendships, a wonderfully happy marriage, and a professional impact way beyond my early successes.
I also found that this shift is entirely achievable by anyone willing to do the work. What worked for me will work for you if you’re willing to make the necessary changes. I’ve had the privilege to help many other ambitious, talented and successful people make the same quantum leap. Olympic-level athletes, artists, fashion designers, tech founders, financiers, entrepreneurs, the list goes on.
I’m doing a free fireside chat about this on Thursday, November 17th ( Noon CST, 1 PM EST, and 10 AM PST).
To attend, register here.
If you have a friend who fits this description and could use a boost of clarity - send them this, and they will thank you later.
P.S. Adding this later after dropping a perfect case study in a conversation with my buddy Brandon Knicely on Headspace. Enjoy -
Well said Christian! God made man out of dust, so we have that in the back our minds somewhere. It's an itch that makes us shoot for the stars if we channel it right! I'm looking forward to the fireside chat!
