On Motivation

One of those little treasures you find scattered about the internet, Despair.com:
MOTIVATION. Psychologists tell us it comes from within. Common sense tells us it can’t be manufactured.
So how is it that a multi-billion dollar industry thrives through the sale of motivational products and services? Because, now as in ages past, people desperately long to believe in simple solutions to complex problems. And when desperation has disposable income, market opportunities abound.

At Despair Inc., we believe it's time people face the truth- that any kind of motivation you can buy isn't worth owning, and in the end will result only in further demoralization. Given that inevitable fact, we'd like to invite you to skip the delusions that motivational products induce and head straight for the disappointment that follows!...

From the series:

Opportunity Demotivator

And many, many more.
