The glitter of success can turn to fool's gold, suggests O'Neil, president of the California School of Professional Psychology, in a workmanlike guide for executives who have sacrificed personal values in order to further their careers. This "paradox of success," often seen in workaholism, self-doubt or hubris, substance abuse and family problems, is manifest when the executive's suppressed psychological conflicts are sensed and transmitted throughout his or her organization.
