Synopsis

For as long as you can remember, you've worked hard to be the best. Now you're thriving in a busy career, running your own business or quickly climbing the corporate ladder. However, instead of being satisfied with your progress, every achievement adds more stress and complexity to your life. You're beginning to doubt that the phrase "I'll be happy as soon as..." will ever be true.For thirteen years I've coached over three hundred talented, driven professionals who faced the same challenge. This experience has taught me that there's a better way to live.In The Overachiever's Dilemma, I'll help you understand why having a "Type A" personality makes you feel like you're running on a treadmill, unable to slow down long enough to catch your breath. More importantly, I'll introduce a simple system that's helped hundreds of professionals grow their careers and actually enjoy their hard work."The Overachiever's Dilemma" ought to be required reading for anyone trying to get ahead in their chosen profession, and for every CEO who cares about long-term flourishing in the workplace. It is so sad to look back on one's life with some deep regrets after it is really too late to take the time to be with loved ones and live a balanced life. At some point everyone needs to decide what really matters in life, and insist on finding time and space for what is most important. We only live once. CJ McClanahan is really on to something important, and he has written a self-help guide that every pressured professional needs to take very seriously. This might just be "the" problem of our work lives today. Bravo for all the good stories, insights, and practical solutions."- Stephen Post, Author of Why Good Things Happen to Good People, Researcher, and Professor"I can always count on CJ to simplify the complex and show me the hidden complexities in the seemingly simple. The Overachiever's Dilemma has become the how-to manual for my increasingly busy brain."-Peter "Pete the Planner" Dunn, Author of What Your Dad Never Taught You About Budgeting,Radio Host, Television Host and Speaker"I found The Overachiever's Dilemma simple and profound on a personal level: it names and explains the pain that follows over achievement and, crucially, recommends an alternative path to success that actually satisfies."-Greg McKeown, Author of Essentialism
