8 You've arrived. Yet, these days, you find you don't look forward to coming to work.

During your morning commutes, you daydream about sailing the Caribbean or hiking the Appalachian Trail. Activities you once enjoyed now feel like punishment. People you once admired make you feel tired.

You're burned out.

Odd as it might seem, the more that you achieve, the more susceptible you become to burnout, explains clinical psychologist Steven Berglas, author of "Reclaiming the Fire: How Successful People Overcome Burnout."

Why? As successful people hone their skills and strategize their actions in an effort to reach the top, they often cut out activities that aren't absolutely, positively guaranteed to generate fabulous results. Pursuit of excellence becomes fleeing from failure, Berglas said.

"Even careerists who are certain that their success is not function of luck . . . may come to fear that their status cannot be sustained unless it is vigilantly safeguarded."
