We were told there's only one way to live: Study hard. Get a degree. Secure a job. Climb the ladder. Buy a house. Keep running until you win. But what if the "success" we are chasing is not really ours?What if the race was never our choice in the first place?In The Race We Never Chose, the author takes you on a thought-provoking journey into the hidden costs of modern ambition-burnout, broken families, endless desires, and the loneliness of so-called achievement. Through relatable stories, reflections, and practical insights, this book asks the uncomfortable questions we avoid: Why do we earn more, but live less?How has "growth" turned into a trap rather than freedom?What is the real price of chasing external success?And most importantly-how do we step out of the race and create a finish line that's truly ours?This is not a book about quitting.It's about reclaiming-your peace, your values, and your life.If you've ever felt that success feels hollow, or that life is slipping away despite the achievements-you are not alone. This book will help you pause, reflect, and choose differently. Because the greatest victory is not in running faster...but in finally running your own race.
