I found Jiro to be an incredible inspiration for expertise and success, but honestly, his life makes me sad. Doing the same thing, over and over and over, working endless hours to produce a food product - it's impressive, but they guy has nothing else in his life.

He doesn't need anything else. He's perfected his craft. He probably reaches the state that Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi calls "flow". The state of optimal experience.
