I had a feeling you might like it - I'm glad :) I've no idea why that book came to mind. Guess chasing after the wrong things which can be the right things in the appropriate measure (surely, a little bit of appreciation, success, fame, money, and so on, isn't all bad).

Don't think i'd like to be in that sort of stasis though. To know you could never just begin again or go a different way or find something new sounds quite painful...
