This question has come across my mind 1000 times and all research tells me that it can't be done. I'm hoping that someone in this forum has some alternative ideas. I have a loved once that could really benefit from personal development type work. There is a lot of suffering going on in their life, and many of their issues could be overcome by learning some simple life skills. Has anyone here had any success in convincing someone to head along the path of personal development?
