Through a mix of psychological research, real-life case studies, and historical context, this book uncovers how society's obsession with constant self-improvement can backfire, leaving people more stressed, unfulfilled, and disconnected from their authentic selves. It provides an honest critique of popular self-help ideologies while offering practical, science-backed strategies to cultivate balance, self-compassion, and sustainable success. Whether you're struggling with workaholism, imposter syndrome, or the pressure to always be "on," this book serves as a much-needed reality check and a guide to reclaiming your well-being.
