Why Your Success Feels Heavier Than Failure (And Why Pushing Harder Won’t Fix It)
from Loner To Leader: Your Path To Power, Passion & Prosperity · host Eric Mortimer
Eric discusses how success can weigh on you more than failure and reintroduces the concept of the "parasite," a pattern that affects successful men who feel restless despite their achievements. This parasite, which feeds on effort and adapts to improvement, attaches early in the success journey and becomes a structural attachment, turning discipline into compulsion and standards into micromanagement. He also emphasizes that this issue is not about motivation or strategy but a structural attachment that needs to be unhooked, not overpowered.
