Sounds like you stacked the deck (or at least the bookshelf), Julie.
I need go no farther than one of THE books that helped kick off the
whole human-potential movement: ``On Becoming A Person'' by Dr. Carl
Rogers.  It's essentially a collection of papers, and thus rambles a
bit, but I recommend it highly.  I've gone through the newer human-
potential books, such as those by Dyer or by Ringer (``Erroneous Zones''
and company), and was once quite taken with them.  But life just didn't
seem to work the way those books claimed.  But when I go back to Rogers,
each time through is an enrichment.
