&gt; When we win, we try for more; when we fail, we cut back.<p>Thanks for sharing this book, OP. I&#x27;ve personally seen this range of ambition in my own life. I can very much relate to this. When I was younger I was always seeking more out of life. Now becoming an adult and struggling as sole-provider of my family and spending many years attending university while trying to help my wife through severe depression and my special-needs child I am now careful about finding new commitments and I&#x27;m trying to greatly simplify my life.
