Among other things, [books by Bruce Doyle III and Mike Hernacki] explain the importance of the "winning attitude" I have been urged to adopt: a positive attitude "attracts" or "fulfils", depending on which author's weird science you go with, postiive results, with little or no action on your part required.

We too are called to a similar attitude.

Pope John Paul II

Modern society will find no solution to the ecological problem unless it takes a serious look at its lifestyle.
