“The fundamental flaw at the heart of our misguided definition of success is the
belief that overworking is the route to high performance and exceptional
results. (…) This idea of success can work - or at least appear to work - in the
short term. But over the long term, money and power by themselves are like a
two-legged stool - you can balance on them for a while, but eventually you’re
going to topple over.” - Arianna Huffington in Thrive (2014)
