Most achievers who want more from life—whether in their relationships, career, or fulfillment—turn to best-selling self-help books. But most of the “wisdom” in these bestsellers doesn’t stand the test of time—at least not when compared to ancient texts that have helped people for thousands of years.

There is a massive, misery-inducing downside of success: While achievements are great, they aren’t enough to make life meaningful.
