You summed up my reaction to it pretty well, Bill -- this bit here is the
crux of it. While it's true that *attitude* is the one thing we can always
change, and that this can help us to achieve a happy life, all too often
people hype it up and turn it into some kind of "mind over matter"
meta-physics. i.e. they kill the only shred of truth by burying it in
piles and piles of clueless wishful thinking.

Don't I know it! I'm certainly going to try these "drugs", although not
until after midterms...
