I think the self-help people want attention and want popularity. Because of that they come up with ideas that really bring attention of a lot of people and gives them hope. For example Tony Robbins has some great advice, he really understands the human mind but NLP? Fire walking? It's just a trick that gets attention, the real advice is somewhere else.
Just like Steve Pavlina, he has some really great articles but he gets attention with spooky stuff like subjective reality. It doesn't help anyone. Stuff that helps is written in articles like "Do it now", that is what counts. |
Ahh, I see, so all the articles that Steve writes that you believe in are the valuable ones, and the ones that he writes about stuff you don't believe in must be the ones he writes just to bring traffic to his website from all the people who type in "IM" and "LoA" into Google. Interesting theory. I don't buy it.
