The Mental Breakdown

TMB Episode 73: The Consequence of Competence


Listen Later

Why do we work so hard when it seems as though our hard work results in more work?  There are many explanations for why we work hard - our individual personality, what has been modeled for us, and our overall view about the purpose of life. But how do we accept the fact that when we do a good job, we tend to be "punished" by being asked (or told) to do more?
In this podcast, Dr. Berney discusses three strategies for dealing with the consequences of competence. By simply shifting our perspective, appreciating our limits, and taking time to recharge our batteries, re have the opportunity to perform at our best and use these opportunities for advancement.
