I really like the graph showing what success actually looks like. A lot of us put off all of the other things except for monetary success thinking that we have to work hard while we still can and stack our coin. I think this is a consequence of not having a good social security system in the US. Mental health really only started becoming important recently, and it is a consequence of evolution. We have a lot of our basic needs satisfied, so of course we are going to be more concerned with transcending those and taking care of what's within.

Great perspective Nia - the pursuit of 'productivity' misses the point. It's about spending our time on what actually matters in the first place and figuring out how to improve as we go. That's me subscribed!
