The Crisis of Fulfillment

A significant issue in today’s workforce is the rise of under-fulfilled over-achievers, individuals who appear successful on paper but feel unsatisfied and disconnected from their careers. Recent statistics indicate that employee engagement is at an 11-year low, with only 30% of U.S. workers feeling engaged and about 17% finding meaning in their work. Many in this category experience burnout and mental health challenges, highlighting a systemic problem rather than an individual one. This creates a generation grappling with the realization that conventional paths to success do not necessarily lead to genuine fulfillment.
