So is there another example for “good” pain except gym, surgery, massage? The good pain is cool concept but I think it’s very limited in our experience

Dima, there is a variety of mentally painful, or at least uncomfortable situations that fall into the same category. For instance the pain of studying for an exam because the long-term goal, a college degree, may be worth it. And so on.
