The Pursuit of Success and Happiness
Many successful people may be unhappy because they are driven by a deep psychological need that success alone cannot fulfill, such as the pursuit of status and admiration. This may lead to compulsive behavior and a continuous strive for something that may already exist within them. The pursuit of success evolves over time, from the thrill of experimentation to a new perspective.
