Occupational & industrial psychology; Self-help & personal development

What if the problem with your life... isn't failure, but the constant pressure to succeed?

From childhood, we are taught to chase goals. Top the class. Get into the best university. Build a successful career. Buy the house. Reach the next milestone. And once we achieve one goal, another one appears. The chase never ends. Yet something strange happens along the way. The more goals we achieve, the more anxious we become. Professionals who look successful from the outside-doctors, entrepreneurs, executives, creators-often feel an invisible pressure inside: the pressure to constantly prove themselves.

In Unchasing Goals, Dr. Ritul Agarwal challenges one of the most deeply accepted ideas of modern life: that happiness lies at the end of achievement. Drawing from two decades of experience in high-performance professional environments, along with insights from psychology, medicine, and personal reflection, this book explores:

Why constant goal-chasing can quietly create anxiety and burnout The hidden psychological cost of achievement culture How comparison and external validation trap professionals in an endless race The medical and physiological toll of living in permanent ""performance mode.""
*Why focusing on daily craft and presence often leads to deeper fulfillment than chasing distant milestones

Rather than rejecting ambition, Unchasing Goals offers a different way of living and working: a way where success comes not from constantly chasing the future, but from mastering the present. This book is for professionals who have worked hard to build their careers, and are beginning to wonder:

""Why does success still feel so heavy?""

If you have ever felt trapped between ambition and peace, this book will help you rethink the chase-and rediscover the quiet power of simply doing your work well, one day at a time. Because sometimes, the most meaningful progress in life begins when we stop chasing.
