lives well.

If you’re a buzz-prone extrovert, then

you’re lucky to enjoy lots of invigorating

emotions. Make the most of them:

build things, inspire others, think big.

Start a company, launch a website,

build an elaborate tree house for your

kids. But also know that you’re operating

with an Achilles’ heel that you must

learn to protect. Train yourself to spend

energy on what’s truly meaningful to

you instead of on activities that look

like they’ll deliver a quick buzz of

money or status or excitement. Teach

yourself to pause and reflect when

warning signs appear that things aren’t

working out as you’d hoped. Learn

from your mistakes. Seek out counterparts

(from spouses to friends to business

partners) who can help rein you in

and compensate for your blind spots.
