1:24 – 1:43 ……. … 1:24 – 1:43 …….sounds like the pharmaceutical industry;medicines that really don’t fix the problem. Lets make a big deal about this problem on CNN. I guess CNN can’t highlight that problem because these pharmaceutical companies pretty much own CNN.
The unfortunate … The unfortunate aspect of personal development is that many people are initially motivated to change. They attend workshops, buy books and audio-video programs – and then the enthusiasm tends to diminish. I call this shelf-help.
Although Steve is correct in stating that many people are wasting their money, he is painting the personal growth world with too broad a brush. I know thousands of people who have turned around their lives with the assistance of personal growth tools. (BW)
If self-help is a … If self-help is a scam, how come Tony Robbins has worked w/ people like Bill Clinton, Andre Agassi, the San Antonio Spurs, the US military, Chuck Liddell, etc
Also, if he was a fraud, why would he be endorsed by Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev, Margaret Thatcher, Princess Diana, etc
Just like in any field, some self-help gurus are frauds. That doesn’t mean they all are. Some doctors are quacks, does that mean you should boycott ALL doctors? Let’s be serious! Salerno is just an idiotic hater!
You can learn something from a book but at the same time these self help books can become a crutch. We’re a nation in search of something that does not exist: PERFECTION! So some of these books, according to their authors, will help you achieve just that. The perfect mate, car, house, job, income ect ect..
It is almost like … It is almost like saying that if I am in the computer industry I shouldn’t upgrade my skills anymore after I completed my course.
Nothing in life is a quick fix. You must continuously work on yourself if you want to improve your quality of life or skills. We all get better over time and practice and to me that is what self help is.
You have guys like Tony Robbins coaching some of the most successful people in the world. So why not let him coach me to.
You obviously lack … You obviously lack critical thinking abilities. Look at the title. Attacking the critic: “Moron”. You’re all in the happy team of winners in life. Congratulations. Now go buy another self-help book.
It’s no more … It’s no more anecdotal, expensive or unproven that psychology and psychiatry… It can be a very expensive merry-go-round, just as psychiatry and psychology are… There simply is no ONE SIZE FITS ALL that’s going to fix every problem of every person…
I get what Steve is … I get what Steve is trying to say – people often grab for “self-help” and become addicted to the “notions/potions” to temporarily or immediately sooth the “feeling” ailing them instead of confronting the problem. In reality there is no need to purchase this stuff, if one was capable of being 100% honest with themselves they could face and cure what is ailing them or stopping them from suceeding in all aspects of life. Just look at how life experiences groomed you to be who you are today.
I think Steve needs … I think Steve needs the books most. We do spend bucks on food right? eat out at expensive restaurants… WHY cant we spend little on our mind? HOW can you let it be filled with Junks world dump on us?Its US who is responsible how you want to cultivate your mind. Actually, Its not even spending, its investing on yourself.
If the REALLY … If the REALLY wanted to help……they would have provided their great inspirational help over the internet. Free of charge…….if one rally wants to help people help themselves….they should do it for free.
As with anything … As with anything personal development will also receive both positive and negative reviews. It is up to us as individuals to make the decision to make up our own minds. Take control of our own futures. For me I choose to remove all the bad programming that has been installed on my “hard drive” (if you will) and install more productive and positive programming to help me move closer to my goals in life. He can keep his opinion to himself as far as I am concerned.
In reality Mark … In reality Mark Victor Hansen was owned. The fact that you think the opposite shows why you’re into this self-help world in the first place; you’re not very bright.
But my good buddy Mark Victor Hansen CRUSHES him. Some people’s kids!
