It is also pretty scary to think about how deep-seated some of our actions are - change may be more difficult than we would like to think. Case in point, the coupling of identity with occupation is a bit disconcerting. The second example, however, equating money with "proof" is really scary. Some of us are trying to get out of this kind of thinking, but it's hard when we are bombarded with it every day. This book seems to be a positive influence in the right direction. Can I borrow it?
