On the one hand, it can benefit you and perhaps others as well; on the other hand, it benefits you without interfering with anyone else. Even in the latter case, it actually benefits others because it adds one more happy person to the world and reduces a potential burden. In Taking Care of Yourself, Robert A. Langer helps people deal with everyday social interactions in unconventional and surprising ways. The author avoids myths and sermons, instead focusing on practical and effective ideas to lead a happier life with less worry. Examine your life with these traditional-shattering new concepts: "If someone laughs at your ideas as unrealistic or impractical, don't listen to them. Shh! If you want to do it, just go for it." "Don't be eager to listen to criticism. If you feel guilty, apologize and then forget about it. If you don't feel guilty, don't apologize and completely forget about it." Robert Green uses such ideas to help you move out of your current situation and into your ideal life, such as how to handle relationships with friends and lovers, financial issues, and all other problems in your personal life.
