I was really hoping for something inspiring, something that would make me realize I wasn't being the best human being I could possibly be and would give me insight towards how I could achieve that. Instead I got a crummy made-up story that only contained platitudes and unrealistic expectations: If the work would have mattered to you, you would have found a solution. Your work and other elements of your life can both matter to you. It's not an either-or situation. "Don't worry about my dog being hit by a car and bleeding out on the street, I got those BI reports done on time, boss! We can fromogulate an additional 3 widgets per year! Can I leave early and go bury my dog?" I wonder what the author's excuse for this drivel is?
