The warning signs on the path don’t involve loss of life and limb like they did for King Pyrrhus, but they aren’t pretty: You hit another quarterly profit target but miss another anniversary dinner. You earn a record bonus but fail to make it to a single one of your child’s sports games. You say yes to every single work call but can’t find time to reconnect with an old friend. You stay in a job for the security but allow your higher-order purpose to wither and die. You host five client dinners per week but can’t walk up the stairs without feeling winded.
