ABSTRACT

I hate to think of the number of times I have burned down my whole house in order to obtain the delicacy of development Leaving relationships, leaving jobs, dropping projects, moving-these things I have done because I thought that dramatic, house-flre change was necessary to produce growth. Never mind that I was often too traumatized from my losses to enjoy the roast pork, or that sometimes I couldn’t find the prize among the ashes. Never mind that I even became phobic about pork, and tried my best to do without it. “Roast pork! Anything but roast pork!” Conflagration and growth, they just seemed to go together.
