CZ's new book reflection: Quitting Texas Hold'em became an important turning point in his life, and he claims that "above-average success" is the most dangerous
CZ recalls in his new book that around 2015, under the persuasion of friends, he gradually quit high-frequency social activities such as poker and golf, and completely withdrew from the related social circles. Subsequently, he gradually formed a work style centered on "high efficiency," which included shortening meeting durations, reducing ineffective communication, and focusing on quickly executing projects. This transformation during this phase became an important turning point in CZ's personal and career development, and it has long influenced his subsequent management and operational style.
CZ repeatedly mentions in his new book that "moderately above-average success is the most dangerous," because after achieving some small successes, one can easily become complacent. On the surface, it may seem like he is doing better than many around him, but only he knows: he hasn't really given his all.
