hyperambitious
Too goal-obsessed
Hyperambitious describes ambition taken to an extreme—someone pursuing goals with intensity that others might find excessive or unsustainable.
The prefix adds a sense of overdrive: a hyperambitious CEO who sleeps four hours a night, hyperambitious parents scheduling every moment of their child's day.
Often carries a hint of criticism, suggesting ambition that crowds out balance or relationships.
