Thanks for the video. I've collated these videos into a single playlist for ease of use: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=448E16FD60F352E4 I believe you can also embed playlists.

I'd like to actually be good at achieving ease before talking more about it. I don’t have plans to turn write it down. I’d like to actually be good at achieving ease before talking more about it.

The hero-zero pendulum and crisis addiction that you talk about certainly is common among programmers, but I've seen it among people in many other professions as well, especially among "high achievers". It may even be a general dysfunction of our culture. I know we programmers like to think we are special ;-), but I think most of what you talk about here would benefit the work world in general. A great talk, Kent!
