Polag,
You've hit on the heart of the damage when you ask, "wonder is this all just a scam? I mean, everything with teaching self-help, personal development industry? " As with everything, you get more than what is offered on the surface of it; you also get some of the hidden intent behind the offer. If the teacher, writer, or speaker is clear about their motivation, and it is what they say it is, then you'll get the real deal if you are ready to receive it. If the teacher isn't clear or honest with himself or you, then you'll get some of that disconnect as a not-so-special bonus, along with the offer.
As I read Steve's articles I get a clear message. I know he makes a bundle doing this, but he seems honest about why he wants to write what he does. And that makes all the difference.
Did you watch the video clip that Steve posted a link to, of Mr Rogers speaking to the US Senate? Now there's an example of purity of intent. Did he make a lot of money doing it? Does it matter?
Cheers,
John  |
