One observation I'd add to the mix is that one thing we aren't often conscious of when we're striving for personal achievement is that we're actually trying to "earn" better relationships with other people. The most obvious example would be men who want to impress women with their money and possessions, but there are also families I know where people believe that if they just worked a little harder all the familial strife would be resolved. When we see that higher-quality relationships actually can't be "earned," our priorities start to shift.
