Guru Ratings
Hale Dwoskin
Bad.
Remember my ratings criteria. I’m not judging these gurus on “global” or moral values, but very specific criteria. Many of my favorite books would be rated “bad” by my criteria for self-help (probably, because they are not self-help books). My ratings don’t reflect how well an author met his own goals, but how well they met my criteria for useful, accurate self-help.
Happiness is Free (2002)
Rambling nonsense, similar to The Sedona Method. Read below.
The Sedona Method (2003)
How can you solve all your problems? It’s easy! Just drop your problems like you’d drop a pen to the floor! Just decide to drop it! Really, just do it!
Very funny, Dwoskin.
Some claim there was a Harvard Medical School study that proved the effectiveness of The Sedona Method. Not surprisingly, it was never published or peer-reviewed.
