In this episode of The Black Doctors Podcast, Dr. Steven Bradley explores the concept of 'success addiction' and its impact on black and minority physicians. He compares the relentless pursuit of success to the harmful effects of substance addiction, highlighting the psychological toll of always striving to be exceptional. Dr. Bradley discusses the societal pressures faced by minority physicians, the concept of the 'hedonic treadmill,' and the cost of prioritizing career milestones over personal happiness and well-being. He reflects on his own journey towards finding fulfillment outside of his medical career and offers practical steps to reclaim happiness, repair relationships, and redefine success. Inspired by Arthur Brooks' article in The Atlantic, this episode is a call to find balance and value in ordinary, meaningful moments.<h3><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2020/07/why-success-wont-make-you-happy/614731/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=cr&utm_campaign=2024_Content_ArthurCBrooks_Prospecting_Sales_Standard&utm_content=040425_SuccessAddicts_NA_NA_LearnMore&utm_term=AdviceTherapyContent_ArthurCBrooks&referral=FB_PAID&utm_id=6579814957077&fbclid=IwY2xjawKwlgNleHRuA2FlbQEwAGFkaWQAAAYQb9q69WJyaWQRMWd3cm9FQUJvMllBaENaczIBHhukk6hmMYulFvfqf5gOxD_sjTdBLeO8yRzjqcZmCC77M6KuqMqYab1fVx73_aem_-lCfz8A7Ez6huZWf4uBvlg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">‘Success Addicts’ Choose Being Special Over Being Happy</a></h3>Interested in starting a podcast?
