Philosopher Byung-Chul Han identifies 6 signs that "achievement society" leads to anxiety or depressive psychology:

1. Feeling guilty when resting.
2. Self-worth is closely tied to productivity.
3. Feeling superior when competing against people you outperform.
4. Viewing others merely as "pawns" for achieving your goals.
5. Obsession with "the self under the gaze of others."
6. Prioritizing wealth accumulation and personal growth.
