Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin

159 — The Achievement Lie: Why Success Doesn't Equal Happiness with Megan Hellerer


Listen Later

Do you ever fall into the trap of thinking you'll feel better if you achieve more? According to Megan Hellerer, founder of Coaching for Underfulfilled Overachievers, believing the "achievement lie" is common.

Fortunately, we can change that by shifting the way we view success. When we start focusing on the process rather than the outcome, we learn how to enjoy the journey. Some of the things we discuss today are:

  • Why success does not automatically lead to achievement
  • How to focus on actions rather than outcomes
  • The benefits of shifting away from achievement outcomes only
  • How to deal with external pressure to succeed
  • Strategies for making decisions that are more in line with your authentic self
