From Strength to Strength by Arthur C. Brooks
Constantly striving for success can lead to a loss of happiness in the long term. In our fast-paced world, we often find ourselves relentlessly pursuing traditional achievements, neglecting other vital aspects of life. Arthur C. Brooks, in his book "From Strength to Strength" (2022), explains this phenomenon and offers solutions. He highlights two phases of career success, each associated with different types of intelligence: one in youth and another in later life. Preparing for the second phase with the right mindset enables a seamless transition between these strengths.
The Curse Of Striver
The "striver's curse" is an underlying source of anguish that afflicts many accomplished individuals. It manifests as an unceasing drive to constantly do more, achieve greatness, and attain larger goals, often at the expense of personal contentment. This perpetual quest for success leaves individuals dissatisfied in the long run.
Breaking free from this curse is attainable for anyone willing to put in the effort. Arthur Brooks' own transformation from this mindset significantly improved his life and can do the same for others.
Challenging your innate desire to be a "striver" may be difficult but ultimately rewarding. Embracing your imperfections and relinquishing self-imposed limitations can lead to lasting happiness and enhanced success.
Confronting the inevitability of decline and mortality with bravery and self-assurance can help mend neglected relationships from the pursuit of worldly success. While stepping into the unknown may be intimidating after investing substantial effort to avoid it, it also holds the promise of excitement and new opportunities.
