The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing and Start Living👍 Recommends
…discussing the motivation behind writing a book on ambition and success
“So the book is called The Ambition Trap. And I'm somebody that has deeply studied ambition for basically my whole life. I am the child of immigrants and really watched my dad struggle to kind of find his place in the world. And, you know, I picked up a lot of that programming too. I was told like, keep your head down, work really hard, be the hardest working person in the room, first one in, last one out. And that worked for me until it didn't work for me. And I ended up getting very sick and getting two autoimmune diseases.”
