Fullerisms: Bon on OCD

Finally, the chapter we've been waiting for since discovering Bonnie Fuller's book is here. Check Your Lettuce in the Coat Room: How to Manage Your Happily Unbalanced Life, is all about how to do it all. And even though we are starting to worry that maybe Bonnie's advice is to embrace our inner raving lunatic, it does make it that much easier for us to follow.

There is nothing wrong with being obsessive. What would have been acccomplished in the world — medical brak-throughs, great inventions — without the power of obsession? The joys that both my work and family bring me fully justify the focus I place on each of them. There is nothing ese I want to devote my time to. As far as I'm concerned, hobbies are overrated, as is that much-discussed condition known as "being well-rounded."

We are still scouring the pages for what exactly the lettuce and the coat room represent, but we bet it's something almost as great as that big enchilada some call life.
