He is laid-back, he appreciates a relaxed pace in life. He is calm-seeking as well: he prefers activities that are quiet, calm, and safe. But, Howard Zinn is also self-focused: he is more concerned with taking care of himself than taking time for others.
More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for discovery.
