The asset we’re overvaluing now is the notion of doing it all, having it all, achieving it all; what Jim Collins calls “ the undisciplined pursuit of more.”. In the process, we have been sold a bill of goods: that success means being supermen and superwomen who can get it all done. And with them, busyness, sleep deprivation and stress.
