From burnout and depression to luxury addiction and emotional isolation, Jan reflects on what he’s learned after a decade treating some of the world’s most powerful people.

At Paracelsus Recovery, he explains, the goal is not to shame wealth or privilege — but to understand the human cost behind the façade. “Money doesn’t make you happy. Quite the opposite. Many of our clients come to us not because they’ve failed — but because they’ve succeeded, and still feel empty.”
