People are itchy and lost and bored and quick to jump at any fix. Why is there such a vast self-help industry in this country? Why do all these selves need help? They have been deprived of something by our psychological culture. They have been deprived of the sense that there is something else in life, some purpose that has come with them into the world.

you have no idea how badly i needed to hear this today. thank you, and see my post today for why.
Kathryn, that is so relevant to what I’ve just finished drawing/writing! Thanks. One of those serendipitous moments that keep happening over the network of people whose blogs I read.
Glad to know that the “self-help” industry is finally eliciting a critical raised eyebrow instead of the usual blanket approval.
