Guru Ratings
Bruno Goldberg
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.
Goldberg advocates past-life regression and other nonsense therapies. For criticism, see the links in my entry on Brian Weiss.
