Abstract
Because of an acquired obsession to understand as much as possible in a limited but important area of science and because of optimism, luck, and help from others, my life in science turned out to be much better than I or others could have expected or planned. This is the story of how that happened, and also the story of the groundstate density functional theory of electronic structure, told from a personal perspective.
