I do think though that those things (and thousands of others) may be taken to extremes by people who have a tendency to neurosis. they can also be taken to extremes by people who have a psychological need to control others or used politically by unscrupulous people who want to convert the naive to their POV. intrinsically beliveing in god, eating healthily, being safe, keeping your surroundings clean and tidy aren't damaging, taken to extremes, they all can be.
modeller; It is strange that for some of us it is virtually impossible to trash books for thinking that they might have some meaning to someone else, somewhere, sometime; old clothes, cars, etc. we send to their demise without much thought.
When you hand a book to a Tibetan Buddhist Lama or monk, before they even open it, they touch it to their forehead and say (in trans.) "May I profit from any wisdom to be found within". Somehow the 'Kindle' doesn't have that resonance. I hope someone will benefit from your books.
