Results are results.
If a person can say "I've done A, B, and C thanks in part to listening to So-and-So and reading a book by Mr. Author." There is really no argument. Certainly someone can claim that A, B and C are due to a placebo effect, but that does not invalidate results that are clear and present.
Unfortunately, too many proponents of personal development do not get long-term results from oft-times expensive personal development products and seminars, and naysayers and skeptics can see that. So I understand how many people refuse to get sold on mere hype.
I'll end where I started, results are results. After all, one cannot argue for the presence of an invisible llama (this is like arguing for personal development with no results to show), likewise one cannot argue against the presence of a visible llama (this is like saying personal development is b.s. with the results in front of you).
I think what I've articulated is clear enough. If not PM me and I'll clarify.
(and for the record, 1) I do not try to sell people on personal development unless they ask, 2) It is frequently easiest to succeed when leading by example.)
