I was reading "Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay and one thing she said was don't think of this information as being for your friends. She said she alienated people trying to push PD when they were not interested. I realized that up until that point in the book I had been thinking about all the other people who could use that information.
It is like the verse in the Bible about the hyppocrite who ignores the log in his own eye while picking at the speck in his neighbors eye. Do not cast your pearls (of wisdom) before swine (who are not interested). If a friend is complaining about life and asking for opinions to improve, then I will offer some advice but otherwise I try to stay silent. Between that and trying not to gossip I find myself talking less and less!
Also there is a Penn & Teller show (♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) and they did a segment on personal improvement and these people who went to firewalk seminars, etc., which was fairly entertaining.
