Masa is a maverick. He stands out because entrepreneurship is not consistent with perfection. It is about risk-taking, where failure is not merely inevitable but necessary. Born an outsider to poverty-stricken Korean immigrants in postwar Japan, he epitomizes the entrepreneur-innovator, driven to constantly stake his fortune, fate, and fame on a new idea or invention that most people can barely see yet.
Gambling Man

As soon as I thought of it, I felt it had to be right. What else could make sense of Dogen’s apparent nonsense? But the beach moment would make complete sense of it. Not that I could exactly explain why. But everything had been there, all at once, in the empty fire I had seen, that single seething, ghostly reality in which all time and space were present. Anything was possible there—everything was possible. How could it not be, if the universe were one single fabric and one was made of that fabric oneself?

And contrary to some airy Law of Attraction notions, we rarely get what we consciously want (unless we do the kind of deep solve work addressed in this book), but we always get what we unconsciously want. And if you're curious as to what you unconsciously want, you don't need thirty years of psychoanalysis to figure it out: you can just take a look at what you currently have in your life and know that that's exactly what your unconscious wants, because what your unconscious wants, it gets.
