A Look at America's Self-Help Culture and the Director of the World Privacy Forum on Q for 2-4y

TODAY on "Q" 

--  PAM DIXON is the director of the World Privacy Forum, a non-partisan public interest research group that is concerned about the data broker industry. She discusses suspicion that some companies are compiling targeted lists of individuals along the lines of 'rape victims' and 'people whose loved ones have been killed in car accidents'... and selling that personal information to marketing companies.

-- Author JESSICA LAMB-SHAPIRO explores her new book "Promise Land: My Journey Through America's Self-Help Culture." It analyzes the growth and surprisingly broad cultural influence of self-help ideas...alongside the author's own troubled upbringing as the daughter of a self-help writer.
