My perception on T.R. (from very limited experience, i.e. just his audio programs) is that he's great at whipping people up in to an emotional frenzy, and instilling an optomistic outlook, and beliefs about ones' life, and what's possible.

That's great, I think, in some ways. But. It's not the full story ...

I think people need a more fundamental grasp, ownership of, what actually works (for them) at this stage in their life. Different things are appropriate for different people, and, at different times in their lives. It's the taking ownership, I think, that counts. The working it out for yourself, rather than being spoon-fed. There's a danger, I think esp. in the initial stages of our personal development journeys, we have a tendency to invest too much in other people, and not enough in ourselves.

Should we not try to find out own solutions?

That said, I can see a good case, for how listening to, or reading personal development material, over time, we'll absorb (like the sponges we are) the information we need. Just so long as we absorb at the speed that's right for us!
