You can give everything you've got to your family, your work and your relationship, and still end up feeling empty. In twenty years as a therapist I watched this happen to a lot of good people, and it had very little to do with how much they were giving and almost everything to do with what they were giving it to. Here are the two kinds of sacrifice, coherent and incoherent, and three questions that tell you which one you're making.
