I believe this will a key question for humanity to answer in order to better ourselves: why do seemingly similar psychological phenomena seem to cause some people to become dysfunctional while causing others to become super successful? I think anxiety/ambition is a great example. It seems like it shows up in other places too. For example, people with bipolar disorder seem to make great artists. People with dyslexia seem to be better at certain non-reading visual tasks (such as recognize Escher-like "impossible" images) [1]. We could have the "gain" of these phenomena without the "pain," the world could be much better off. Obviously some important improvements could be made by changing how society treats/supports people we view as having disorders, but that's far from a silver bullet. More research into psychology, psychiatry, and neurology is needed.
