The Internet is the best example of this phenomenon. One segment of the information marketplace, the self help business, has grown from a cottage industry into a multi billion dollar behemoth.

Let My Worries GoIn conclusion, Dilbert and his peers live in an unending (as long as the series continues) world of worry, woe, interpersonal tension and despair. Their private lives are as angst ridden as their work lives are. Certainly, they have not taken advantage of the nearly endless current of information that came with the Information Age. They have not taken the risk of modifying their behavior. Real people, on the other hand, are changing their lives as evidenced by the large scale changes taking place in the job marketplace. We can conclude that personal development is a viable option. It is just a matter of letting go and moving on. |
