Hello Steve,
I appreciate the Critical Thinking Learn-ins appearing in the forums and also your consumer-oriented insights into processing and change.
How does one see through deceptive and misleading hype advertising in the area of popular techniques and 'mind' cd's and gizmos that abound. It's obvious that many consumers are rather psychologically unsophisticated and are marks for people hustling various methods. The psychologically hungy are quite easily swayed because of their needs. The promise of quick and easy results with the latest cutting edge techniques and the promise of "do nothingism".
What are the giveaway clues that someone's hustling air castles? What are the common loaded words? Astounding far-fetched stories of discovery? Claims for clinical proof. Testimonials by stars and 'authors' who appear on everybody's dust jackets with numbing frequency. What are the other hype tricks?
