Barry Maher focuses on the disconnection experienced by most modern employees, the lack of connection between what one is doing, and what one believes he or she should be doing. According to Barry Maher, the key to a satisfied and successful life lies in pursuing those goals which a person wants to pursue in actuality. If sacrifices are needed to attain that, then those cannot be visualized as sacrifices, but as investments towards a better life. Barry Maher urges people to make a soul-search and find the goals they themselves want to pursue, and not those, which their parents want, or their bosses want, or what others want, if they differ from what one actually wants. According to Barry Maher, productivity, career satisfaction, and success go hand-in-hand and people experience lack of success when they fool themselves into doing or believing what others want them to do, rather than following their own hearts.
