TOMTIT read a lot of self-help books and instructional leaflets, not because we haven't reached perfection but because it is important to know what your enemy has in his arsenal. Let's face it, it's not the books or even the writers that you have to look out for, but the readers: anyone who buys a book about 'projecting unspoken orders that must be obeyed' to use in earnest needs to be carefully watched: they're clearly some sort of dangerous psychopath, looking for a way to put you under their power. Avoid.
Don't make me set Merlyn Cundiff on you, post more often, if you know what's good for you...
ReplyDeleteA copy of this book was always lying around the house whilst I was grewing up. Come to think of it, I'm not entirely sure which family member it belonged to, but, uh..... thanks for pointing me toward all the unsavoury possibilities that arise from that line of thought, Tomtit!
