Larry is starting Water Bears No Scars: Japanese Lifeways for Personal Growth
Gave up after about 10 pages and skimming the rest. Too much vague woowoo, and Captain Obvious stuff. Among the "Constructive Living Principles" (basically proverbs) there are a few good ones, such as
"Rely on reality, not a person or system of thought."
But we also get
"Quitting one's job should be avoided."

For some this may be a virtual feast. For me, it's a vending machine baloney sandwich.

I'll move on.

Larry is on page 97 of 192 of The All New Don't Think of an Elephant!: Know Your Values and Frame the Debate
Got to Part IV. Had to take back to library. Need to buy a copy. Very interesting, eye-opening little book. Really good descriptions of Liberal / Conservative thinking in chapter 1; ideas on how the private depends on the public in chapter 6; and the Piketty Insight in chapter 8.
