Dying to Improve Life:

From "Self-Help" to "Self-Harm"

The Industry's Dirty Little Secrets

 

To paraphrase Shakespeare's play Hamlet, "Something is rotten in the state of personal development."

It probably starts with the fact that it's more popular than ever.

Maybe it's due to the economy, and people are turning inward more because they're disgusted by the outward world. Maybe it's the "Oprah factor" — feature a couple of stories like The Secret and Eckhart Tolle in mass media, and they become the "in thing". Maybe it's the ever-approaching year 2012.

But it seems like personal development — an industry traditionally rooted in common sense concepts like the fact that you can achieve more when motivated or inspired than you can when feeling lazy or passionless — has suddenly gone off its rocker.

In our latest report — available at no-charge with NO required opt-in — you will discover:

 

check How the personal development industry has seemingly gone off its rocker, allowing stupidity to run rampant;

check What one self-help guru did to push his followers way too far;

check In what ways modern self-improvement teachers model the tactics of cult leaders;

check When stage pitching crosses the line from serving to coercing;

check Why trying to eliminate negative emotions is a bad idea;

check An updated interpretation of "Give me liberty, or give me death!";

check What serves as a bridge between your physical and spiritual selves, and how to cross it without burning it;

check Why you can achieve more when you tap into the positive side of anger;

check Why equilibrium is required to truly feel gratitude;

check How "ego-greed" causes you to act without compassion for others;

check How a well-known personal development teacher is falling into her own trap;

check How the spiritual quest for "balance" has become skewed the wrong way;

check What you need to do to get the best "test drive" experience from your life;

check How to leverage your life and start living more.

 

If you know anything about us already... you certainly know one simple fact: we like to be as raw, real, open, and politically incorrect as we possibly can, without crossing the boundaries of indecency into the areas of maliciousness or haphazard accusations.

As investigative journalists, we're after truth, regardless of how discoloring, smelly, or ugly it can get sometimes. And, when examining what mayhem goes on behind the scenes when students and purported "gurus" get together, we do our best to stay away from the spiritual hall monitors that spend their every waking hour to ensure folks like us mind our P's and Q's.

So, if you dig realism over fantasy; substance over sizzle; and grounded RESULTS over feel-good talk, keep moving the scroll bar down the page.

We hope the report below gives you a NEW perspective on some things most don't dare tackle: speaking out against the romper-room, juvenile nonsense that goes unchecked. The "self help" in-crowd is an interesting bunch, and rarely do you find people in this business who will spend the time to think for themselves or give critical examination of the me-too philosophy and questionable practices bandied about.

Again, we strive to challenge, to question, to explore, to research and to think outside-the-box.
