I am not a fan of self help stuff, but I think that’s a somewhat uncharitable reading of the article; I don’t think he was implying that it was “good” to break someone’s spine.

I think it was saying that it’s very easy to convince yourself of something much worse than reality. He felt guilty because he thought he ruined a woman’s life forever, he felt immense guilt over that, when in reality the woman mostly recovered, not that it was good the accident happened.

I thought The idea is that a slight misunderstanding of the can have a severe “compound interest rate”.
