Well, honestly, I think we should have some sympathy for him. I've known many Type A personalities in my life, and not a one of them was truly happy or content. It just doesn't come with the personality. What satisfaction they get from a big gain is quickly diluted by the need for even greater achievement.......it is a never ending cycle. For most of us, it would be a cycle of grief.
I may not be the sharpest tack in the box, but I do listen to Otis, who is, no doubt!
Otis says, when you find your Comfort Zone, enjoy it!...life is short, don't let it slip away!
Regards!
