Dr. Grumpy: "Hi, I'm Dr. Grumpy. Have a seat. Now..."
Mr. Ross: "Hello. Are you happy and well today?"
Dr. Grumpy: "As much as I'll ever be. So what can I do for you?"
Mr. Ross: "You mean you're not happy and well today?"
Dr. Grumpy: "I'm fine, thank you. What brings you in to see me?"
Mr. Ross: "Perhaps I can help. Here's a free copy of my self-help book, called 'Are You Happy and Well Today?' "
Dr. Grumpy: "Uh, thank you, but back to..."
Mr. Ross: "I've self-published it, and it's available on Amazon. You can get a discount for bulk orders if you want to give out copies to your patients, or put them out in the lobby. It's also available on Kindle and as an audiobook, read by me."
Dr. Grumpy: "Thanks, but let's get back to your appointment. What..."
Mr. Ross: "You don't seem very happy today."

Transference, counter-transference or counter-counter-transference??
If you have an iPhone with the Books app, next week you'll be getting a copy of my new self-help book, "Have You Found What You're Looking For?", whether you want it or not.
Oh geez. If Mr. Ross was happy and well why did he make an appointment to see you? If it was solely to push his book, then enjoy taking his co-pay.
I WAS happy and well, now you're trying to sell me books and that's no longer the case. You're here to see me, so while you may be happy, I'm guessing you're not fully well, either, so either re-read your own book or tell me your problems so you can go away.
Hey, the Gideons also started small.
