i think he will have many bitter regrets in later life but what can you say?

it is not a brave thing to do to throw away a lifetime of work or to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory -- it's a self sabotaging thing to do

i think it's called masochistic/self-defeating personality disorder (can't remember exactly) but it is deeply rooted in self hatred, apparently he thinks after all his hard work and struggle he is still undeserving of success

i've known people to do similar to this -- none of them were glad after a couple of years that they'd fucked up THIS majorly

ok, i read more and see that it's only for 3 months and then maybe he'll get another chance, in that case, i hope he gets good advice and rest at his retreat so he doesn't keep going down a path that he'll regret -- burn out makes people make some pretty terrible decisions
