You might want to check out <a href="http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2006/04/angrynegative_p.html" rel="nofollow">this fascinating entry</a> by Kathy Sierra at the group blog <a href="http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/" rel="nofollow">Creating Passionate Users</a>, about what neuroscience tells us about the effects of hanging around angry/negative people. (Thanks to Stephen Abram for <a href="http://stephenslighthouse.sirsi.com/archives/2006/04/negative_people.html" rel="nofollow">pointing it out on his blog</a>.) When you check out Kathy's post, don't stop at the end of the article -- the ensuing discussion in the comments is equally fascinating. Kathy's final sentence goes well with your Frankl quote: "Remember the flight attendant's advice... you must put on your own oxygen mask first." A very thought-provoking post — thanks.

Good book, anyway!

It IS all too easy to get caught up in vortex. Pardon while I exhibit my inability to find any time to maintain any pretense of being well-read... but could you share the source of the Viktor Frankl quote? It resonates. Thanks for sharing this.
