Steve Magness: 我认为为了追求卓越，我们不必牺牲一切。卓越和成就感是相互促进的。越感到满足，对自我和追求目标的意义越有安全感，就越能促进我们追求卓越的旅程。我们需要平衡，这样不仅能成为更好的人，也能在更高水平上发挥。亚当·斯密认为我们需要追求卓越和成就感，需要资本主义或追求，同时也要用平静和满足来平衡。斯密警告说，如果只追求物质，不考虑平静和满足，会感到痛苦。如果没有内在的动力，我们人类就无法生存。我们需要满足这种内在的动力，平衡那些看似对立，实则互补的力量。

Deep Dive

Chapters
Steve Magness argues that excellence and fulfillment are not mutually exclusive but rather fuel each other. He challenges the traditional notion that achieving greatness requires sacrificing everything else. He emphasizes the importance of balancing the drive for achievement with inner peace and contentment.
  • Excellence and fulfillment are complementary, not opposing forces.
  • The pursuit of excellence should be balanced with tranquility and contentment.
  • A solely achievement-driven approach leads to misery and burnout.
