These days, my emails bring me waves – floods – of launch announcements. And they all seem to come with free (but long and time-gobbling) videos, fortified by earth-shaking (cleverly retitled but same-ol’-same-ol’) systems.

A few years back, I ran an article on gratitude, and challenged readers to find ten things each day to be thankful for. Many readers sent wonderful responses, telling how, overnight, their lives had become much happier and more fulfilling. But I still remember Gladys (not her real name).
