S15 E5 Craig Robinson on Why Success Is the World's Most Convincing Happiness Trap

About this episode

In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick McGinnis sits down with Craig M. Robinson, former Chief Growth Officer of Industrious, CEO of Global Corporate Services at Newmark, and President of the U.S. Region at Colliers International, to talk about the book he wrote after decades at the top of corporate America left him pre-diabetic, on Zoloft, and quietly unfulfilled. The Happiness Reboot: The Path to Reclaiming Your Joy is part memoir, part research-backed framework, and part direct challenge to the scripts most high achievers never stop to question. Craig, now an executive coach and adjunct professor at Emory's Goizueta Business School, breaks down why the pursuit of success is structurally designed to fail as a happiness strategy, what the happiest countries in the world actually have in common, and why the research says you have less than a one percent chance of being fulfilled in life if you are not fulfilled in your work.
