It's both fascinating and depressing to see how much the old and modern corporations have changed the lives of people/consumers, for better or for worse. The corporate employee was, is and always will be a simple 'peasant' in the eyes of the bloody corporations they work for. These companies are more than happy to hire them and 'fulfil' their dreams and desires in exchange for their private lives and indefinite membership of the 'rat race'. It's very sad to read that people have worked and lived in such a corporate dominated world that they thought would really 'support' them in some way, but the ugly truth is that these companies had only bad intentions and corporate greed that would only benefit the top management of the company and its executives. The ugly truth is that the sad reality of the past has managed to blatantly infiltrate our modern times and continues to bring sorrow and depression into our lives more than it so called 'wants' to bring joy and happiness.

I've never heard of Network Spinal Analysis before. It's interesting and great to hear that it's helping a lot of people on their recovery/healing journey. I'm giving it only 2.75 stars because I didn't find anything that caught my attention during my reading, it was just regular and boring self-help talk that I've read so many times before.

I've often wondered what an 'evidence-based' answer would be to the question of what the collective Romanian psyche is like, and how it fits into the European family of nations. Interestingly, I found that most of my assumptions about my fellow Romanians turned out to be true facts.
