The United States of Achievement

The data is clear – Americans are achieving a ton. We make more money, live in bigger homes and go on better vacations than ever before. Additionally, we love to buy new stuff – so much so, that a $30 billion self-storage industry popped up to warehouse all our excess. All this achievement has come at a cost. We're working more hours, feeling more stress, neglecting our closest relationships and ignoring our health. Before we can address the situation, it's important to focus on the cause and ask a simple question – How did this happen? In today's podcast, I'll explore the factors that I believe have led to a generation of overachievers. In addition, I'll discuss the trends influencing our children and what the future holds if we stay on this same path.
