About this audiobook

Chasing the Green: Why Smart, Driven People Burn Out Trying to Get Rich, and How to Redefine Success Before It Costs You Everything is for high-achievers who did everything “right”—and still ended up exhausted, disconnected, and wondering what they’re really working for.

You set goals.

You hustle.

You optimize.

You push.

And somehow, the finish line keeps moving.

This book explores the hidden emotional and psychological cost of chasing money, status, and external validation—and why so many intelligent, motivated people lose themselves in the process.

Blending performance psychology, identity work, nervous system science, and real-life case studies, Chasing the Green helps you:

• Understand why wealth alone doesn’t create safety or fulfillment

• See how success culture rewires your sense of self

• Break out of burnout cycles without abandoning ambition

• Redefine success in ways that protect your health, relationships, and joy

• Build a life that’s rich in more than just money

This is not an anti-success book.

It’s a redefinition of success.

If you’re tired of winning on paper but losing in real life,

This book shows you how to stop chasing and start choosing.
