Arts & Humanities - 2 August 2006

What do you feel about all the self-help, self improvement, advice, personal development books and materials that are out there?

Are they all just out to get your money?

Do their advice prove useful even?

Has anyone ever gotten any benefit out of them?

Which ones do you think are the genuine ones and which ones do you think are snake oil sellers? Dr Phil? Tony Robbins? Brian Tracy?

Also, who will live and what will happen to them? If you think Harry will kick the bucket, why do you think that? Who will sacrifice themselves? Who do you WANT to die/live. Please tell me!

I have a pretty calm head. You have to in the Tampa Bay area. Congestion on poorly planned roads is a fact of life here. Just today I had a woman in her 20's pass by my car and barked something at me out her window. AFTER she wouldn't let me in her lane while I had my blinker on. Pffft.

or "you can't cater to everyone" or "you can't make everyone happy" ...

i work with a tour troupe which handed out parts yesterday for one of their productions. typically, we get to list which productions we want as first preference, and then parts are handed out randomly (supposedly) according to our preferred choice.

Mark, who is just as good as everyone else, really let everyone know that he really wanted to be part of the production. the roles were handed out by a director (who knows Mark's preference, but doesnt know Mark personally). Mark didnt get a role, and some people who didnt really want one to begin with landed with a part.

i told the director that this seemed really unfair. his reply to me was "you can't please everyone", even though Mark did everything to let him know that he wants in. i dont think that applies where clearly you are trying to cater to some people if you ask what their preferences are (and then hand out parts to people who you personally prefer)

Do you know of any place for working adults to take fairly beginner classes for any type of dance in NYC? I tried the 92nd St YMCA but the one I took was a joke. Maybe their non-beginner classes are better?

I don't have a problem with religious people, that's their business. But how can a person live their life following a religion and they don't even know if some one just made it all up when they were bored? I think religion just restricts your life. If you believe in individual things like not having sex before marriage, or not drinking alcohol; thats fine why can't you just do that? Why can't you just follow your own morals rather than having to follow someone elses rules?

There's never been any scientific proof that any religion is right or that any religion or god is real, or that following any religion makes you a better person or that following a certain religion sends you to heaven when you die (if you believe in heaven). How can so many people devote their lives to such an unsure thing?
