Seventy percent of people live with stress and burnout symptoms.
High achievers at all stages of life and careers are most susceptible.

Why? Their unique superpowers—infectious motivation, insatiable drive, the ability to create a future, and resistance to the fear of failure–make them valuable assets in today’s world.

• They will work to the bone to achieve more of the external markers of success they want—education, status, respect, money, luxury goods…

• But their dark sides–perfectionism, status-driven behavior, a relentless pursuit of excellence, and a high tolerance for chronic stress–can lead to poor work-life balance.

Healthy high achievers, on the other hand, are much less prone to burnout.

Although they share the same superpowers as high achievers, they take a different approach to achieving because their ultimate success metric is who they are, not what they acquire.

• To realize a sense of achievement, they invest heavily in themselves—their wellbeing practices, relationships, and where they choose to live—and in identifying and cultivating meaning throughout their lives, work, and play.

• These people find problems, questions, puzzles, or ideas in the world that hook them and to which they commit for a time or, sometimes, even for a lifetime.

• They stretch their definition of achievement beyond a single job or quest and take a long view of their successes and failures.

Don’t misunderstand: healthy high achievers achieve at the highest levels.

• They have rituals, practices, and people in place to support stress management, healthy relationships, and resets when times are tough.

• They also understand that to keep raising the bar, they must continue to grow, so they seek support when they need to bust through old ways and gain new superpowers.

Becoming a healthy high achiever might seem out of reach. But, with tools, support, and a desire for change, any high achiever can learn to be one. I can show you how.
