THE SUCCESS FACTOR

Success in sex, diet, ""interpersonal relationships,"" stopping smoking. . . all in exactly fourteen days, by means of positively Pavlovian stimulus/response techniques (behavior modification, they call it now) that wind up sounding rather like Brave New World. Structure a pathway of subgoals with your barrier identification guide, using Sharpe's three ""R's""--relaxation, record keeping (again!), reinforcement. After each day's lesson we are given explicit, easy-to-follow instructions. ""Now, please close the book."" Oh, good.
