“In the swirl of it all, it's difficult to see that we're being set up to fail. We're told to work hard in a society that undervalues our labor. We're being told to self-optimize in a culture that also tells us we'll never be enough. Instead, we need to buy, pursue, or do this thing if we're to have any hope of reaching contentment-- all the while, we're chasing a shadow. If we aren't benefiting from our overwork, overdoing, overachieving, why do we insist on fastening our self-worth to how productive we are?”
