3. Sample from the FAQ page:
• Better to take the day off. Call in sick.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• You can never get enough security, no matter how rich or successful you are. So why strain yourself trying? You deserve to relax.
• We are being led into having lower expectations – that we should work harder for less reward, that life is about toil & paying tax, etc. This won’t last – the puritan is no match for the hedonist.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Laziness motivates efficiency.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Fear sells. The most common advertising technique is to exploit psychological insecurities.
• A main function of the media is to deliver psychologically insecure audiences to advertisers.
• “Spiralling crime” – a media-perpetuated myth? The climate of fear surrounding crime seems out of all proportion to the real threat of crime for most people. Statistically, you’re more at risk from congested roads and stress-related illness.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Team spirit means mob mentality.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Our beliefs program our realities. If we believe that the universe is fundamentally unsafe, then we’re going to experience perpetual anxiety – which isn’t a good way to operate our brains.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Avoid meetings – stupidity is contagious.
