With societal expectations geared towards “success” -- owning your ideal home, doing well at your job, looking young, engaging in stimulating experiences like traveling and other similar activities --it is not surprising that the amount of stress that people are subjected to can be very intense. This has been a generation focused on delaying gratification in order to secure the success jackpot. However, there are also concerns about whether the stress is worth it in the long run.
