The example I would use is my recent dalliance with the information presentation and design ideas of Edward Tufte.
Stage one: Falling in Love.
Stage two: I Am Not Worthy of This Love.
Stage Three: The Blinders Come Off.

Stage Four: The Breakup
And so the cycle continues.
I think you could apply the same formula to a favorite author that you just discovered, a new political philosophy, management fad, computer program, TV show, new girlfriend, or any other subject of fascination. My goal in life is to get through the cycles as fast as possible to preserve a healthy skepticism and keep a measured perspective. Skepticism is the best philosophy, I love it the most. (... here we go again.)
