Description

You know that guy who’s brilliant—but hard to work with? The one who gets results but leaves a trail of tension behind him?

Maybe you’ve worked with him.
Maybe you’ve been him.

Let's explore:

  • What makes driven professionals spiral into burnout
  • The real origins of the “Type A” personality label (spoiler: cardiologists, not psychologists)
  • Why your brilliance might be getting in your way
  • And most importantly: what the “after” version of a high-performing Type A looks and feels like

Think Sherlock Holmes. Or for my American friends, think House M.D.
Hyper-competent. Obsessed. Burned out.

There’s a better way to be excellent—without losing your edge.
