The bane of humanity ever since Eve believed a talking snake has been: WE ONLY BELIEVE WHAT WE WANT TO BELIEVE.
If I am not mistaken, that was the first thing I ever typed into a debate forum, circa 1984 on my C64 computer.
I have always enjoyed these more than obvious self help books and "studies" that tell us what we already knew by the time we were 6 years old. I don’t think Dr Phil has yet to surpass what a 6 year old already knows. I especially enjoy the ones that tell us that good looking people do better than ugly people!
The only self help books I ever bought I bought to give to other people. 🙂
