However, the average consensus of people who have read his most well known book "The Einstein Factor" is 4 out of 5 stars according to over 90 public reviews of the book on Amazon.com that have taken place over a period of several years.

A amazon rating can is no good measure. People can write reviews for their own books etc.
In addition you have people who write something like " I have been practicing Wenger's techniques for a year now and have had a 200 pt increase in IQ " If we assume he had a below average IQ of 60 before he now has 260, which would make him by far the brightest person in human history.
To archieve a good amazon rating a book just needs to make high claims but doesn't need to back them up.
But my point isn't that the system is ineffective, I don't know whether it is. My point is that you can explain why it isn't used in public school without asserting that the policticans that are evil.

Right in your quote.
To base your argumentation on an over-simplification is bad.

The reason I use brain hemispheres in my arguments is because it is something that many people can relate to.

Win Wenger states something like IQ can be improved by X points on average by doing imagestreaming a resonable amount of time.
If that claim is right, that is something most people can relate to very well. Most people would want an increase in their IQ.
It is also a good argument to conclude from the fact that Imagestreaming improves IQ that it should be taught in public schools.
If you could get the general public (at first the scientific community) to accept Win Wengers claim that it improves IQ by that amount, it should be possible to get it into school. (you would also need to find a way a teacher could teach it to a class of students, but that should be manageable)
Talking about left and right brain hemispheres metaphysics doesn't get you anywhere.

I just 'picked it up', imagination certainly isn't, inspirational speaking is not (I do not use any notes) - and loving a woman is so far from logical it must be right brain. Imagination and love being the two mental and (only for the latter) physical activities that I engage in the most.

It doesn't help us to label these kind of brain processes right brain or left brain.
