- abstractbill 16y agoI was curious about that bit. It sounds good, but is it actually true? The thing that makes me skeptical is that I really enjoy reading biographies, and I can think of plenty of very successful people who were emotional wrecks (e.g. "tortured geniuses") while they were doing whatever led to their success.
