> I like this book (which I am still reading) because it took six specimens of the Homo Sapien race from one isolated region-- New York City. A quite controlled "study" condition for real life. I thought the author did justice to the study and I learned a lot from the book on human potentiality to change their habits. I just thought this is a good, concrete piece of psychology literature.
>Rzip,
All I'm saying is that this is a very unique group of high achievers in a city where high achievement is worshiped and the focus of many. Even the therapist fits that mold, which is why he allowed a book to be written. My impression is that much therapy, group and individual is more dull, grinding and slow moving, human potential or not... However, I would love to find out differently, personally, without paying a small fortune which is what I imagine these folks did...
Hope you are well and your therapy is going well for you.
Sante!
