Summary:
Why do so many highly successful men and women feel lonely, cutoff,
and unfulfilled by their success? Why does our drive for "winning" so
often threaten our health, our relationships, and our families,
leaving us with "an eerie vacancy of spirit?" Best-selling author and
clinical psychologist Dr. Paul Pearsall discovered this pattern of
"Toxic Success Syndrome" or TSS in his 10-year study of a hundred
"winners," together with their families and associates. He confirmed
that most TSS victims are distant, detached, and distracted and
suffer from a form of ADDattention deficit disorder. People who
experience "Sweet Success"an almost constant state of delight in
their love, work and playare able to direct their attention and stay
in the "now," being the center of swirling activity without getting
fragmented. Its being pulled through life, not pushed; going with
the flow instead of fighting the current; being responsive rather
than driven. Pearsalls detoxification program has helped many TSS
patients to "sweeten it up" by changing their mindset and taking back
their attention, focusing on what they need not what they want. Toxic
Success is this celebrated authors most important book to date.
