If he knew so much about human nature, as you and he claim, how could he have made such a big mistake.
This is the first time in quite awhile that I put someone on ignore, but you're going.

Promise?

Note to everyone, don't get too close to the truth or she will put you on 'fake ignore' - again.
It is a valid question though, and one I have asked myself: if Lessans was such a profound scholar of human nature, then why did he write a book that is not just unconvincing, but actually off-putting? Did he not realize that by congratulating himself on being so right and so clever about 3 times per page might distract people from what he was trying to get across? It just seems so silly to blow your own trumpet so often as he does in the book, to indulge in such obvious overcompensation.
