Apropos of my post yesterday about writing is this essay in the NYTimes today: Unless You’re Oprah, ‘Be Yourself’ Is Terrible Advice. I'm most certainly a high self-monitor.
Reminds me of film "As Good As It Gets," and Jack's punchline in this little dialogue: "You make me want to be a better man." Self-reflection/ self-censorship ain't always an entirely bad thing, it must be said!
