We are moving away from the satisfaction in the action to glamorizing all the other parts such as the result, or even worse the ability to avoid the action altogether. Our values are more aligned with pride and the communal recognition of success rather than the individual notion that you put your full effort and must live with the consequences. On a separate note, we are seeing a gradual disappearance of the middle class resulting in desperate attempts to rise in status whether superficially or explicitly. In either case, we are losing some self-worth and putting our happiness in the hands of society and rules we don't control.
