(Imagine how many people have clicked on that one first.) I have to admit: I didn’t even look at the Goldilocks rule, or at the <i>Harvard Business Review</i> piece. The headline appalled me into not going much further.Michael Leddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547732736861224886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-68803779966918358482017-02-09T12:55:23.784-06:002017-02-09T12:55:23.784-06:00Did you read the article, or what was posted of it...Did you read the article, or what was posted of it, anyway? I clicked on his link showing three bears, which led to an article on finding the right level of challenge to keep you motivated to reach your goals, which led to a link for a free download of an essay on his motivational insights. I was interested to read what he had to say, since I'm going through a period of serious lack of motivation. What he'd written in the Three Bears essay made sense to me, so - despite the growing nay-saying of my usually cautious mind - I entered my email address to receive the download.<br /><br />It turned out to be an ad for a book he'd written and was going to sell to me at a discount because I'd given him my email for the free download.<br /><br />Awful lot of bamboozlers in the world, setting hooks for even more gullible fish such as I seem to be today.<br /><br />Beware the three bears, or wear your anti-bamboozler armor if you trek in those woods.The Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846997590157958766noreply@blogger.com
