The sentiment behind the golden rule is great (treating others the way we wish to be treated ourselves). But nowadays we dont even treat ourselves very well! We knowingly consume what we know is bad for us, continue working at jobs we hate, and dont even spend half as much time relaxing as we do stressing. Come to think of it, we ARE treating others the way we treat ourselves.. poorly! And thats part of the problem! This brainstorm made it into the book as a chapter called A pseudo-problem with the Golden Rule. Do you have a copy of Buddhist Boot Camp already? Get a copy for yourself, but my hope is that for every book ordered at least four people read it… so dont let it sit on the shelf, okay? Give it to someone else when youre done!
