Episode Description

Quote: "Kathy I’m lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping. "I’m empty and aching and I don’t know why…" – Simon & Garfunkel, America

In this episode, Coach Keren Eldad explores the haunting feelings of emptiness and loss that often come with high achievement. With reference to Alexander Hamilton's "residual sadness of the driven man" from Ron Chernow's biography and the concept of "the cave you fear to enter" by Joseph Campbell, Keren breaks down why overachievers often feel like they’re endlessly striving yet remain unsatisfied. Through deeply personal stories and historical examples, this episode unveils why wealth and success often fail to fill the void.

Tool of the Day: A “Dream Map” to clarify what true happiness would look like in all areas of life.
