I'd rather listen to you, Dinah, than read any of those books. Whenever I see the ever-expanding self help section in a book store I sigh. I think "Are there really that manny screwed up people in this country?" and "These authors are just as exploitative as TV evangelists." The whole pharmo-psychology complex is making billions, and I don't like being part of it (I take Effexor, but am trying to quit). Like I said, I'd rather be a pessimist than a drug addict. Happiness is overrated.
