ruminate  

After he had been condemned to death on the trumped up charges of corrupting the youth of Athens and failing to revere the local gods, Socrates began to ruminate on the afterlife before an audience of his judges. -- "How to Make It in the Afterlife", New York Times, June 23, 2009

monomania  

Ford's success with the Model T was a testament to the power of monomania. His devotion to the car was total. In 1912, a few years after the advent of the Model T, company managers surprised Ford with a prototype of a sleeker car. He literally demolished it with his own hands.-- "The People's Tycoon:Driven", New York Times, September 4th, 2005
