Not grateful enough to shell out $10,000 for a weekend seminar though. 
I tried reading Wayne Dyer's book What Do We Really Want for our Children but it was too stream of consciousness for me. I really like his radio program on Hay House though. It's like Dr. Laura, but Dr. Dyer never insults people and you can really feel the love coming through as he gives his advice. If I'm not in a loving place, listening to Wayne can help shift me. I will have to try reading Erroneous Zones, I'm sure it is at the library. |
Agreed on all that.
To call TR a snake-oil salesman is disingenuos at best. I know a number of people that have got a great deal of benefit from what he offers, bothe his seminars and his recordings and books. I have some of his cd's and they are superb.....if you get on with that kind of thing. His Power To Influence series is the best sales presentation I have ever heard. Technically it is pretty much flawless.
People process information differently and just because we don't get on with one particular style doesn't mean they are wrong or ripping people off.
