an interesting read, but this "If you can dream it, you can do it" theme is taken a bit far. I agree with certain things, like fear, etc being used to maintain status quo. However, simply wanting something and having only happy thoughts won't get you anything.. the mindset might change how you act, thus changing the things that happen to you, but there's no etheral request line, there's no utopia that you can just wish for.

disconnecting from the corporate ratrace is commendable, but I think this takes it way too far. Living in a hut on walden pond is groovy, I'm just not grooving on the disney attitude of 'if you wish upon a star'. and yeah, I was waiting for the point, and when the point came, I felt like I was being recruited for a cult. but thats just me.
