The self-critical voice is both a bug and a feature: it can wreck you, but it is also what supplies drive and a lack of complacency.

Drawn from what Dan Houser said

What these subjects mean

ambition How much to take on and how hard to push: superlinear returns to effort, focus, slack time, and procrastination.

motivation What makes effort feel worth it: the neuroscience of wanting to act, apathy, dopamine, and habit.

What Dan Houser actually said

  1. Dan Houser Co-founder of Rockstar Games
    That self-critical brain, I think lots of people suffer from, and I think the internet is designed to induce, if you didn’t have it before, you will have it after being online. It clearly can become a bug, but it also can give you drive and a lack of complacency, so it can also become a feature.
