During this past three weeks of reading Mastery there were many great things in that book. I really enjoyed a couple things in specific. First I loved the description of the dabbler, the obsessive and the hacker. I could see some of these things in myself and was able to see these in people that are close around me. It was fun to think of that process and realize how they effect me and the process in which I do things and lose interest. It truly made a lot of sense when I think of hobbies, schooling and other things I have done if my life and not been successful at. The plateaus are where I need to learn to make myself better and always take advantage of them.
There was another section of the book when he is talking about homeostasis. The points that he talked about to hold us back were investing and it was also interesting how others are effected by homoeostasis when it comes to changes we make. The story he shared of the alcoholic father and the family was very investing to read. For the family to have to have the chaos in their home every 6-8 weeks because they were so use to it was a great example of my family growing up. I can see how my mother has created this pattern in her life and how this situation played out while I was home and after I was married. I have had to make a effort not to allow myself to fall into the same pattern. This really put it all into perspective for me.
