Why are we are subjected to ‘personal development plans’? Isn’t doing the job enough?

Fascinating video on the theories of German-Korean philosophy Byung-Chul Han on why we are all burning out - it’s basically because we have subjected ourselves to a cult of perpetual self development. A mind bending theory which may help explain some of the modern malaise and perhaps provide rationale for the hikkimori’s who prefer to ‘lie flat’ or otherwise check out of the rat race. We need vita complementiva folks.
