Often coaches assign homework to be done between calls. If someone is having trouble managing finances, he might be asked to keep a diary of expenses. If a salesperson is seeking to improve performance, she might have to make a set number of cold calls that week. Burned-out overachievers may be advised to "get a massage or lie in a hammock for an hour," reports Lynn Nodland, a coach in Excelsior, Minn...

...Trier's Joan of Arc or Job, a character who is constantly humiliated and questioned in a unforgiving world for her unhesitating love. She is pure and childlike, resisting the constraints of the social order, even to the point of self-negation. Von Trier thus is not cold and mechanical to his protagonist (although he could be criticized for his idealization of femininity), but rather he seems to have the utmost compassion...
