Cum se face că, deși suntem asaltați de mesaje motivaționale, ne scufundăm tot mai adesea în depresie și anxietate ca în niște nisipuri mișcătoare din care nu putem scăpa oricât ne-am zbate? Motivul, spune Steven C. Hayes, este că ne-am construit o poveste despre noi înșine pornind de la îndemnurile dictatoriale ale societății, manifestate în minte sub forma unui eu tiranic. Din cauza acestui personaj care, paradoxal, pare mânat de intenții bune, orice situație poate fi interpretată ca amenințare. Prin urmare devenim din ce în ce mai stresați.

It is a time of old gods, of new beliefs and new restrictions on living.

Why would someone kill a miner, freeze his body solid on a glacier, and then drop it alongside the Juneau wharf, the one place where United States Marshal Gordon Whitford would be sure to find it?
