THE idea that we can transform ourselves is deeply ingrained in American culture. Benjamin Franklin in his autobiography described a self-improvement plan that he devised for himself as a young man. It included virtues to which many of us still aspire: control stress (“Be not disturbed at trifles,” Franklin wrote); get organized (“Let all of your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time”); and show some temperance (“Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation”).
