Tension

Dr. Stein,

In the "incessant striving" of an individual towards a goal of superiority is it possible to determine what part tension plays (e.g. is tension or stress necessary to push the person toward his/her goal of superiority or does constant pushing of oneself cause exhaustion and nervousness)?

Also, how does one maintain a balance in life with this constant striving (i.e. not become a "workaholic")?

Thank you,

Robert
