DISQUS

Anyone try these? They look comfortable. I have a pair of Zalman surround sound headphones that work OK, but I'm looking for some higher end ones.

I'm sure you got lots of good advice. Seems to be a pretty common state of mind. Reset buttons were great on the old game consoles. You play Ms. Pacman and lose a guy before you get to the second scene, you just have to reset, because you are going for the hi score every time you play. For me, there is no reset button. I have four kids and no steady paycheck. I have found a formula that works, though. Maybe it isn't a reset button, but a turbo button. Believe it or not, I have found solace in listening to audio books. I consume them. Not just any books, but business related non-fiction books work for me. I can get a full dose of a lifetime's worth of wisdom from any number of brilliant people who were good enough to sit down and share their perspectives on the world. The last one I finished was a book about Fetzer Vineyards and how it was built from its roots into a major brand. Currently I'm listening to a book that draws a parallel among chess, business, and life. It is how I learned about Livermore, Hayek, Bernstein, etc. You can get all of these on the web at the NYPL website. And if you aren't an audio person, I used to get my kicks by browsing the massive collection of books at the SIBL on Madison. The bottom line is, for me a reset button is the equivalent of a new idea, because once you open up another part of your brain, there is nothing but possibility in front of you. One more idea that you might explore, albeit a painful one, is to really dig deep and figure out why you feel you need a reset button and make some changes so you don't end up here again. Another great book to pick up is Waitzkin's on the Art of Learning.
