In my experience successful people are successful because they have such enormous personal problems that literally becoming the best in the world is less hard than solving them.
So all the productivity and health life tips are totally missing the pointβ¦.
An interesting observation in Maslow's work on self-actualized people is that they tend to be less "introspective" than others. Meaning they spend less time thinking about themselves and their feelings. But they are more attuned to their inner compass when *acting on the world*.
