The Poisoning Lie of "Success": Why Are We Constantly Unhappy?

Success, that dangerous and ghostly word we blindly chase but never fully understand... Are these criteria for success imposed on us by society truly our dreams, or are they the projects of others?

In this episode of Open Brain with Sinan Canan, we examine the concept of "success" that has taken over our lives from neurobiological and psychological perspectives. Staying true to our factory settings, we discuss how the word "success" poisons us in our families, schools, and the business world. You will discover why high computational intelligence (IQ) can lead to failure and loneliness in real life, the inner collapse of those who cannot say "no" due to societal pressure, and that true success is actually a journey of creating a new version of oneself by transcending one's own limitations.

Some questions you will find answers to in this episode:

What is the reason for that "Is this it?" feeling of emptiness we experience after achieving the success criteria imposed on us throughout our lives, such as diplomas, high grades, or good salaries? How does the pressure that families impose on their children—"You will do what I couldn't"—ruin children's lives? Why is a high IQ, which leads to high grades in school, inversely proportional to real-life success and social relationships? How do we destroy our own potential by copying others, acting cautiously, and being unable to say "no" to those around us simply to gain approval? Why is it necessary to push one's own limits and develop emotional intelligence (EQ) instead of a high IQ for true success?
