Are you a workaholic? In this excerpt from her book MoneyZen: The Secret to Finding Your “Enough”, author Manisha Thakor says that we tend to confuse our self-worth with our net worth. For 30 years, Thakor’s pursuit of work, money and prestige left her feeling isolated and joyless. Reflecting on how this relentless obsession with work was impacting her health and relationships, she set out to understand the “why” – why it never seemed enough, why we couldn’t “stop working so much”. Through her research and interviews with interdisciplinary experts, Thakor delves into the root cause of our workaholic behaviours and suggests distancing ourselves from a “never enough” mindset through self-compassion and practice.
