Yes, I saw the "mini-myths" in the book - wedged in between the
chapters. Looks like you've got enough for a volume 2 here. By the
way, you mentioned in a previous TIPS post that the Associated Press
had contacted you about Rom Houben and the possible facilitated
communication issue. Any follow-up on that?

Many thanks for the kind words, Michael. Actually, we do address
this myth on p. 44 of our myths book in our end-of-chapter
"mythlets" (or perhaps we should call them mini-myths?).

The Master in the Art of Living makes little distinction between his
work and his play,
his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and
his recreation,
his love and his intellectual passions. He hardly knows which is
which.
He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does,
leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing.
To him - he is always doing both.

Subject: [tips] The 51st Great Myth?
Lately I've been reading Scott Lillienfeld's great book on myths and
this has perhaps "primed" me into thinking a lot about myths. So as I
lie on the couch after today's turkey dinner thinking that the L-
tryptophan was making me sleepy, I had a faint memory of hearing that
there was perhaps nothing to this belief? Does anyone know if that's
so?
