Ambition and insecurity are two sides of the same coin, imo. These books helped me alot personally:

"Freedom from the known" - Jiddu Krishnamurti and "Power of Now" - Eckhart Tolle

I think it's healthy to pursue goals and improve your life situation. But don't let it become your identity or expect lasting peace from it.

Pay down all debt. Cut down on expenses. Sell most of your possessions. Invest in stocks/crypto. Take a few months rest without any digital obligations and reset your health. Good luck.

Apologies for piggybacking on the original question but couldn't pass up the opportunity to ask the daytrading crowd.

Would you publicly post price predictions/odds to get ranked alongside other traders via Brier scores?

Just curious, how are you handling the legality if at all :) Are "popularity contests" considered sweepstakes or lotteries?

Definitely. But costs do add up if you go thru alot.

Good point. But it does something to know that an old book of mine will go to a specific requester instead being part of a bulk donation.

Thanks for the link. I was thinking more of a direct exchange of hours rather than a "lending." Seems to align more incentives that way.
