From Quicklet on Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickel and Dimed:
Ms. Ehrenreich had options. She could stay at home and attempt to live on the equivalent of a $7 an hour job. This scheme, however, wouldn’t give her a true picture of the life lived by a menial worker. According to The Preamble Center for Public Policy, the odds were 97 to 1 against a recent welfare recipient finding a job that paid a “living wage.”
Barbara decided she had to personally battle those odds to understand how the working poor live.
In addition, Ms. Ehrenreich holds a doctorate in biology. Her training dictated personal experimentation. She wanted to find out if there were “hidden economies in the world of the low wage worker.”
Perhaps, she thought, there were unseen benefits to this type of life. On the other hand, the day to day drudgery of low paying work might exact hidden damages. Barbara decided only first-hand experience could tell the tale.
Rules were set for her journey into the world of unskilled labor.
Rule one: There could be no use of her normal set of job skills.
Rule two: She had “to take the highest paying job that was offered” and do her “best to hold it.”
Rule three: She must live in the cheapest place available, within a given range of safety and privacy. Over time, Barbara bent all of these rules.
Filling out job applications presented the next problem. She reinvented herself as a recently divorced homemaker returning to work after many years.
Ms. Ehrenreich’s doctorate in biology became three years of college. Friends were enlisted to back up the fabrications. The reinvention turned out to be almost unnecessary. Most potential employers didn’t check her references.

From Quicklet on Barbara Ehrenreich's Bright-Sided:
"The law of attraction is that our thinking creates and brings to us whatever we think about, it's as though every time we think a thought, every time we speak a word, the universe is listening and responding to us." -Louise Hay
With the rise of the positive thinking and positive psychology movement, many supposed “gurus” have emerged.Napoleon Hill wrote his classic book, Think and Grow Rich, in one of the most difficult times of America’s history (the Depression), and the book is still in circulation today.
Other promoters of positive thought run the gamut from Norman Vincent Peale to modern day pastors such as Joel Osteen of Lakewood Church in Houston, who preaches the new ‘Prosperity Gospel.’
We might ask ourselves, how can optimism hurt? Many of the people who follow these positive thought ideologies find themselves subjected to a regimen of self-hypnosis-like visualizations and verbalizations.
