Let's be brutally honest - most of the successful businesses are about selling harmful (mostly in the long run - people should be myopic, not entirely dumb) bullshit. And you have to possess certain qualities to succeed in that, which BTW work the best when you are not seeing part 1 as something bad at all. This WILL make your social life a kind of hell - and you deserve it. People are not dumb customers, though not always able to articulate that (ie from shame, halo effect etc)
