Joshua Fraser sold his business for millions in his 20s and expected happiness to follow. Instead he felt more pressure and less contentment. Through therapy, he's learning to make choices based on what he wants, not what money demands.
Chapters
I've been feeling incredibly blessed, but at the same time, I'd say not the happiest I've ever been in my life. Albeit I sold my business, unlocked a ton of things in life that I worked on for over a decade, thinking that my life was going to be somewhat better. But the reality is that's not what's happening. If anything, there's a bit more pressure. And one of the things that I've worked on a lot through therapy and is never letting the money control me. I don't want it to decide what I'm going to do with my life. I don't want it to decide who, what, when, where and why I do things. I want that to have the freedom to make those decisions. But at the end of the day, having more money hasn't really given me that. Even though I made a couple million dollars in my 20s, multiple millions of dollars in my early 30s, now I'm starting to go through this not existential crisis, but new understanding of what it's like to be at this level.
