The sad part is that people are so desperate that they need this to be true, and so they truly believe it and defend it, even though they may not be realizing any of the ridiculous claims they are making.

I did not see the Oprah show, I wonder whether she endorsed it or just gave it air time. She can do whatever she wants, but I find it disingenuous and revolting for anyone, including Steve, to latch onto this marketing bonanza.
I watched both Oprah shows. (It was the very first time that I had seen Oprah.)
One thing that the guests really emphasized is the need to take action. You can't just sit on your ass and visualize things into being. Perhaps they are aware that a course correction was needed?
