What Dr. Doll can say in an interview on
Succeeding in Business and Our Mental Health
:

    • Success and achievement do not need to come at the cost of your health. It is not a zero-sum game and more sacrifice doesn’t mean more success.
    • Similarly, success and being a top performer does not require over sacrificing.

    • In fact, if we take care of our physical health and our psychological health, we will thrive and flourish at work even more. 
    • The challenge is finding the sweet spot where we are challenged enough to keep us engaged and stimulated, without the cost of unnecessary distress.
    • Doing data collection and challenging our assumptions about expectations is key. We often make assumptions about what needs to be done or what we can’t say no to without checking it out.
    • It is common for high achievers to operate with perfectionist qualities and to make decisions based on fear rather than facts. Sometimes it is worth asking if the deadline is negotiable, or if our boss actually does expect us to answer emails at 10 pm or work on the weekends.
    • Once we gather the facts of what is actually required, we can make better decisions in how we prioritize and set boundaries.
