Training programmes come in all shapes and sizes. Brace yourself though, because this one won't have you rowing for dear life in the white waters off Kithulgala, or holding hands with the guy you hate from accounts; there will be no 'feedback' to fake for your immediate superior, and unfortunately, no breaks for weak tea and sandwiches.

Whatever one's heart desires, it can be bought here.
