In this conversation, Dr. Cliff Redford discusses the complexities of fulfillment and the phenomenon of post-achievement depression, often referred to as arrival fallacy. He reflects on the experiences of professional athletes, particularly golfer Scotty Scheffler, who, despite achieving great success, questions the meaning and satisfaction derived from these accomplishments. The discussion delves into the importance of setting goals, the journey towards achieving them, and the need for personal growth and fulfillment beyond mere achievements. The conversation emphasizes the significance of enjoying the process and finding joy in life outside of professional success.
