You've been told your whole life that passion and drive are the keys to success.
What if they're actually the biggest risks to your mental health?
In this episode of Finding Peak, I sit down with Dr. Guy Winch — internationally renowned psychologist, 3x TED Talk speaker (35M+ views), and bestselling author of Mind Over Grind: How to Break Free When Work Hijacks Your Life.
We go deep on the uncomfortable truth about overworking, the hidden dangers of being "driven," and why your passion might be slowly amputating parts of your personality — one by one.
If you've ever felt like work is hijacking your life, or if you've experienced that crushing emptiness after achieving a massive goal (like selling a company), this conversation is your wake-up call.
We cover:
→ Why passion and drive are actually psychological risk factors
→ The "scurvy" of the modern entrepreneur (and how to avoid it)
→ Why you feel depressed after a big win — and how to prepare for it
→ How to stop work from invading your personal time
→ The difference between automatic coping and intentional problem-solving
→ Why action creates passion — not the other way around
→ How Gen Z's short-term thinking is creating a mental health crisis
Stop grinding yourself into the ground. It's time to build a life that actually sustains you.
This is the way.
