What happens when you finally achieve the thing you wanted… and still feel weirdly unchanged?
In this episode, I'm joined by author, musician and meditation teacher Cory Allen for a conversation about ambition, creativity, overachievement and the strange emotional flatness that can follow success.
We explore why so many high achievers quietly expect achievement to do something it was never designed to do: finally make them feel enough.
In this episode we explore:
Why achievement often fails to deliver the feeling we expected
The exhausting cycle of striving, arriving, and immediately moving the goalposts
Mimetic desire and how we learn what to want by watching other people
The hidden fear beneath obsessive, brittle overachievement
Cory's idea of "rotating the prism" — and how changing the way we look at disappointment can completely change our experience of it
