Shangri-La

The story told in the fictional book Lost Horizon takes place in the Kunlun Mountains in Tibet. The people of Shangri-La live in harmonious bliss. They live to be hundreds of years old, while barely aging physically. But if they leave Shangri-La, they soon wither away and die. 

Shangri-La is the quintessential utopia. 

In his book The Ethics of Interpersonal Relationships, Bob details how The Friendship Circle (a re-branding of "The Environment") came into existence. He then writes:

In spite of all its positive attributes, this environment has never claimed to be a Utopia.

This is a lie of the highest order. Time and time again, Bob specifically referred to The Friendship Circle as Shangri-La. He even warned his followers they'd severely regress psychologically if they left. They would "go mental".  

Readers of this book would be well advised to take every word Dr. Robert Firestone writes with a block of salt.
