You probably like to think of yourself as a logical, self-controlled human being. But are you?

Your well-formed outcome should benefit both yourself and other important people in your life both at home and at work. It should not be selfish. One of the difficulties mentioned in my book, that prevented me from becoming a teacher was quite simply that a school teacher’s pay could not possibly have supported my young [...]
