Everything has a light and dark side, and it's smarter to look at both. ;) I would also like to see more meta-discourse on all things personal growth, and I appreciate how you do so on your blog. Lexi, you're in a rich environment to really get intimate with your thoughts, beliefs, and what makes you you! Just like Chris mentioned, it's about contrasting. When people vehemently argue "opposing" viewpoints, you can glean the similarities too. :P Chris, I think it’s very healthy to contrast viewpoints.

Also, this will clearly give me a platform for doing lots of public debates about personal development and I'll get to take on Hitchens and Ehrenreich next. :) (Well, okay, I guess Christopher Hitchens hasn't written a PD-bashing book yet, but perhaps I can encourage him to do one so we can debate about it -- if his health turns out okay, as I hope it does.)

You're in the wrong business. You sure do know how to build HYPE! :D Shoot, I'm even excited to see how this one is gonna turn out. To self-help or not to self-help. That is what our culture has come to. Have fun in Alaska! Melissa “Don King” Karnaze. You’re in the wrong business. You sure do know how to build HYPE! :D
