The Healy… inevitable love child of capitalism and new age spirituality

Why do webinars have to be so hideous?

You know how it is. A subject matter catches your eye. You hover over the sign-up button and try to convince yourself that this time it’ll be different. The voice in your head says “sucker” but you hate this voice because no-one likes a cynic. …
