Significance, monopoly, alienation? I think there will emrge a life sytle industry where you sign up a your salary level, they get it all, and deliver living place, aeshetics, friends...
But no one is going after the much larger business known as "wellness," a broad term for the multibillion-dollar arena that includes things like vitamins and Pilates exercises, with quite the fervor of Mr. Robbins.
"I want to own it," Mr. Robbins said.
In a new book, "The Next Trillion," Paul Zane Pilzer, the Reagan administration economist turned wellness guru, estimates that the industry is worth $200 billion in sales a year and will expand fivefold over the next seven years as baby boomers splurge on products and services that they hope will make them feel healthier, look better and slow the effects of aging.
