besides guilt, overachievers seem to have a real problem with the idea of failure, which is why it comes up in so many different forms throughout my book.
more: why we have to deal with guilt | is your sense of duty misplaced? | are you sure you’re in the wrong place? | how are you programming your mind? | how to stay in the present | stop ignoring opportunities right in front of you | work ‘better,’ not ‘harder’ | what a pro knows | don’t let opportunities become detours | what are you giving priority? | don’t let others block your path

how does this attitude toward failure manifest itself? well, in business, as with life, we are taught by society that to be considered a worthy and successful human being, we must “grab for the brass ring” or buy into the idea that “winning is everything.” and clichés like “anything other than first doesn’t count” are used to motivate people into obtaining “the right perspective.” this has created some self-destructive and dysfunctional attitudes toward winning.
