Overthinking About Workaholism

تفصیل

This week, Amanda is joined by psychologist and bestselling author Guy Winch (⁠@guywinch⁠) to overthink workaholism. Why being “busy” feels virtuous, why burnout can masquerade as success, and how overworking often hides deeper emotional needs. Together, they unpack the psychology behind overwork and the quiet ways it can become a socially acceptable addiction. The conversation offers a new lens on why so many of our attempts at “work/life balance” leave us feeling even more depleted and what it might actually take to build a life that feels sustainable instead of performative. A reflective spiral about rest, self-worth, and learning that you are more than what you produce.  - Join the "Magical Overthinkers Club" by following the pod on Instagram ⁠@magicaloverthinkers.⁠ - To access early, ad-free episodes and more, subscribe to the ⁠Magical Overthinkers Substack⁠. - Pick up Amanda's book ⁠The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality⁠, or listen to the ⁠audiobook⁠.
