I thought this was funny as a sensible diet plan and exercise do not need to be combined with grapefruit pills.
Could it be that the real power in combining I-M with action is really the action?
Could it be that I-M helps by creating inspiration, motivation, and confidence? |
Regardless of whether or not I-M works, if it has such a positive effect on those who use it, I wouldn't consider it a bad thing. Think of it kind of like a "lie of success" -- if it's having a net positive effect and actually improving peoples' ability to function within reality, all the better.
And besides, if something is acting as a catalyst for positive results, there must be some truth to it somewhere. It may be more effective to harness that effectiveness -- that truth -- and do away what isn’t needed, but if the appeal of I-M acts as a vehicle to provide those who use it with that effectiveness, I’d say it’s working just fine.
