I can't say I was a big fan of his but it is an interesting note (I guess that would be the word I'm looking for) about the nature of depression. Depression the mental illness, beyond just feeling down. How a person can have a successful career and what seems like so much going for them but their brain is telling them they're worthless, a loser, nothing to live for, etc.. Just look at Anthony Bourdain, Kate Spade or Robin Williams. A hell of a lot of people would have traded places with them but their brains told them they were unfulfilled failures. Kind of frightening in a way.
Many prominent people are compelled to strive for success and fame due to some thoroughly nasty monkeys on their back, and those little bastards are rarely satisfied.
IIN I don't see the big deal about Anthony Bourdain?

Valid points.

Hmm, okay. Did not think of that, interesting...
