Great post. I loved you bringing in the bit on the housing bubble. I believe that anyone doing personal work for the purpose of increasing wealth will never "get it" and therefore will always need more personal development. If you think about it, it's the ultimate Ponzi scheme.

I think people buy into all this because our egos never really want us to feel whole and complete. As long as there is the possibility of "having it all" and we don't measure up, we can remain separate from everyone else, striving and competing.

This is not to say that I don't believe in some of the messages of personal development, I just think they're skewed.
