Psychology says the reason so many successful people quietly burn out in their 50s isn't overwork - it's that they spent three decades performing a version of themselves that the job required, and somewhere along the way they stopped being able to locate the original person underneath, and the burnout isn't about energy, it's about grief for a self they outsourced - Silicon Canals

Identity erosion in high-performing professionals often manifests as a grief response to losing one's original self to job demands.
