Arthur Brooks was the president of the American Enterprise Institute for 11 years. He talks about achievement addiction, getting stuck on the hedonic treadmill and why leadership can be such a lonely place. If this interview caused you to pause and think about your own professional career, I encourage you to check out Arthur's book From Strength to Strength or his popular series at The Atlantic titled How to Build a Better Life.
