Self-Help Pop Psychology - The Board Game!
I get a kick out of local self-help and nutrition guru Joel Osteen.What he does isn't much about theology or religion, but lots of people seem to find his positive self-help hucksterism helpful.
And his marketing is top-notch.
I mean, really, how many self-help hucksters OR quasi-religious figures have a BOARD GAME?
That's awesome.
I like this guy's reaction (maybe because it sounded like something I would write):
I wonder what happens if you lose the game. Obviously the winner gets to have his or her best life right now, but if you lose.....I guess it's your best life at some point in the future if you ever win a game. It must be depressing if you lose at "Your Best Life Now". Gosh, what would happen if a heated argument arose from playing said board game? You would not be living your best life at that particular moment.
Heh. Excellent.
UPDATE (11-19-2006): This "review" of the game is even better! And the comments... oh my!
