It is the conventional wisdom that if LeBron James leaves Cleveland, it will be to chase fame and fortune. But that might be a misguided pursuit.

I saw a reference to this on the internet just yesterday. Amazing how fast information gets around. I remember the research talks on this subject back in grad school, too. Very cool stuff.

Hege Gade
My name is Hege Gade and I live in Southern Norway. I work at a Morbid obesity center (Tønsberg). I'm writing on my PhD project right now, and my special issue of interest is adherence/compliance - both for those patients who undergo bariatric surgery and those who try more conservative treatment.
I've been presenting a...n abstract on the Nordic Obesity Meeting in Oslo: "Can personality traits affect the motivation for lifestyle changes". At this meeting, there were so many researchers presenting interesting papers, but nobody talked about Health behavior CHANGE...:-(
We have a mission :-)
Anybody else who are interested in obesity/personality traits/health behavior change/adherence/Motivational Interviewing??
