The more I consider the whole concept of PD and self help, the more I see that the whole thing is so overly complex, I used to think if something was deep and meaningful, if the book was thick, if the DVD went for 3 hours, if the seminar went for 5 days, then it has to be good, but I've found that not to be true.

We want it complex because we want to believe it's not simple, simple is easy, we want something challenging and full of effort and work, we want these things mainly so if we fail, we can say "that was really hard, no wonder I failed" then we feel good about failure, but if something is easy and we fail, we feel very inadequate, we feel unworthy.

I'm just not smart enough to want it overly complex or super challenging, I must be lazy, I want it easy
