I've met so many people who believe that a tradeoff exists between becoming great at work and achieving a sense of wellbeing in their lives.
They forgo life outside of their jobs and put in huge amounts of hard work—long hours and maximum effort—to become top performers. Over time, however, this effort takes a toll, leaving them burned out, unhappy, and stressed. Yet still they soldier on, rationalizing that greatness at work comes at an inevitable price.
