The Paradox of Success
Steve-O and Steven Bartlett discuss the paradox of success, highlighting how achieving success can lead to increased anxiety and a sense of financial insecurity. They explore the concept of happiness and how it is not directly correlated to wealth, with studies showing that a baseline income of around $75,000 is sufficient for happiness. The conversation also touches on the guilt and fear of losing it all that often accompanies success, particularly for those who came from humble beginnings.In this clip
