Lidskou mysl ovládají racionální a logický Člověk a emocionální Šimpanz, který dokáže být vaším nejlepším přítelem, nebo nejhorším nepřítelem – v tom je paradox Šimpanze. Existuje množství návodů, příruček a knih, které vám poradí, jak se co nejvíce rozvinout až po dokonalého člověka, jak se zbavit různých nectností, kouřením počínaje přes přejídání, lenost až třeba po chorobné podléhání televizním reklamám. Lidé, kteří tyto knihy kupují, jich mívají často plné knihovny, ale žádoucí efekt se dostaví jen sporadicky.
