The Temptation to Exist (work)

The Temptation to Exist (work) refers to the idea that individuals often seek validation and purpose through their work, sometimes risking overextension or neglecting personal well-being. It highlights how the pursuit of productivity and achievement can become an internal drive, compelling people to keep striving even when it may lead to imbalance or exhaustion. Essentially, it’s about understanding the human tendency to find meaning and identity through dedicated effort, which can be both motivating and problematic if it becomes an obsession that overshadows other aspects of life.
