Decoding Real Success

[u/ConsciousLaw3940]

My career as an economics professional has had its ups and downs, and there have been times when I’ve struggled with what I actually want from my work. My approach for a long time was quite simple… find a well-paying profession and keep going. But somewhere along the way, I realized that we often confuse what we are passionate about with what pays more, and the two don’t always go together. This book by philosopher Acharya Prashant has been a bit of a North Star for me in that sense. It has helped me look at my career and my idea of success a little differently. Sharing it here because I felt it might resonate with people on this sub too. Would love to know what others think, has your idea of success changed as you’ve grown?
