'Think back to when you were a child. You loved going to the park or playing football or drawing. You have to find leisure activities which provide the same level of absorption. First and foremost, that almost certainly means that they are not self-improving. If you have always wanted to read Tolstoy in the original Russian because it would bring you joy, join that evening class. But be very wary of such of such plans, for they can easily seem to be intrinsic but really be closet people-pleasing, unwitting attempts to curry favour with past authority figures in your mind. In doing these activities, your sole arbiter should be whether they are absorbing, exciting, stimulating.'
Oliver James, Affluenza, p.182.
