Our culture treats success as virtue and failure as a personal flaw – a sharp break from older traditions that saw failure as meaningful and transformative. We need to recover that wisdom in an age of burnout.

Our culture treats success as virtue and failure as personal flaw. Older traditions – from Greek tragedy to Christian thought – saw failure as meaningful. Recovering that wisdom may be essential to living with dignity in an age of burnout.
