The article analyzes the meaning of the adjective priden (diligent) as it appears in collections of Slovenian proverbs and riddles, and in contemporary media discourse where it is often problematized and perceived as one of the reasons for burnout. In line with the neoliberal values of self-responsibility and self-help, the author perceives a substantial contemporary transformation of the meaning of the adjective – into pridnost as self-care. However, as it is primarily socially and economically beneficial in today’s world, such meaning of pridnost is only a variant of its basic content.
