Reflecting on his "dark decade," Thomas Power argues that it is harder to stage a comeback than to achieve initial success. He views pain as an inevitable part of the "game of life" designed to test human endurance across health, business, and relationships.

This approach allows individuals to feel that life is being lived through them.
