Key Ideas & Recurring Themes
The Upper Limit Problem
An inner thermostat caps how much success, love, and creativity you allow. Past the setting, you yank yourself back.

The work only you can do. Excellence pays and still drains the hours genius needs.
Einstein Time
You make time from presence. Worry shrinks the hour; a wonder question expands it.
