Paul:
Books are ok. They're not that expensive and they do have some decent advice. And if people want to buy one after the other until their rooms break, that's their choice.
But the seminars are mostly scams. People get lured with promises that are unlikely to realize. And of course that's never the fault of the course but of the people! People pay ridiculous amounts of money for something they could read in a book or that even everyone with common sense could tell them. The self-help gurus package it nicely though and get people in a sort of collective trance that wears of the moment they're confronted with reality again. All the while the gurus are laughing all their way to the bank.
These self-help gurus are like priests that you pay so they will tell you something motivating, nice and comforting. But the prices are ridiculous. A lot of simple people have to save for a long time so they can afford them and then only get the same blabla that's in the books. Their naivety gets milked.
For some people these seminars may work, but for most they don't. And they're cult like. And if you fail, it's your fault. The Theory/Law cannot fail. The Theory/Law is always right. So maybe you need a second seminar to get it. Or a third one. Just bring us your money.
Or maybe just a friend who will kick your ass so you wake up, stop whining and get a grip at life again.
