Day 190,
I'm quickly approaching the point of 3 months listening + 2 week break + 3 months listening.
I'm deciding whether to a) take the break and b) whether to resume Maverick after the break.
I'm going by a theory that virtually all of your adult troubles, over a long enough time horizon, are a reflection of your inner traumas and emotion-based limitations. You will literally not allow yourself to sustain a positive life situation if it goes against some internal standard.
Some are told that the rich are bad for accumulating their money, so they throw away any excess wealth; any inheritance, raise, bonus, or further windfall will be frittered away, and they will go back to their static level of struggle.
Here's a very interesting article about playing to win, in the context of competitive games. Some play the game with self-imposed yet self-restrictive "rules" that allow worse players to feel self-satisfied about losing to people who know and can leverage exploits, and develop the counter to that exploit, and the counter to that counter, becoming overall better players.
