This might seem like an attempt to appear non-judgmental, but I've often found these books to make bold claims like, "There is nothing morally wrong with <insert behavior that virtually every religion over 100 years old has typically considered immoral>." As if, by writing a self-help book, shrink or psychologist gains the authority to overrule all of the world's religions on moral issues. While I could see self-help-book writers wanting to avoid pigeonholing their audiences into one religious perspective, even atheists will generally claim to believe in some kind of morality. I can't help but wonder if the attempt to detach psychological well-being from morality might be, well, unhealthy, counterproductive, or maybe even destructive. yes you are right Not that there's anything wrong with that seinfeld episodes not that thereiis anything wrong with that http://youtu.be/Oj3VphK9AMk
