Encounter groups, success teams, the futility of positive thinking, and how to get what you really, really want.

In this episode, I talk to author and life coach Barbara Sher, a global authority on identifying goals, finding drive and motivation, and avoiding resistance the natural way. She has five best-selling books in more than a dozen languages and is in the thick of another one right now, which she's writing with her son from their home in Marseille, France.
