enemy's vocabulary.

Is there a war I missed?

Perhaps I should have used a different term. I just meant that Think and Grow Rich contains much discussion of e.g. "applied faith", and it is easy to hear terms like that and try to spit out the whole book. But if you listen to the concrete actions it is recommending, rather than allowing yourself to react as to an enemy camp, most of them seem sound.
