Arthur C. Brooks tells workaholics that achievement and rewards can't fill the emptiness relentless work creates. Real fulfillment comes from love that can't be earned, not from external success. He urges you to give more love and build a plan to change your habits.
If you're workaholic, you need to face the truth. You need to give more love. You need to make a strategic plan to change and you need to change because the one thing I can assure you is if you don't deal with this in a forthright way, it's not going to make your life better. There isn't enough work in the world. There aren't enough worldly rewards in the world to fill that hollowness in your soul. Trust me, there aren't. And so you need to get after this is the bottom line because you deserve to be happy. You deserve to be intrinsically happy. You need to be satiated with a love that you seek, that you really seek, that can't be earned. And it's not gonna start to happen until you start taking on its face the problem that you actually are experiencing.
