Guru Ratings

Catherine Ponder

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.

The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity (2007)

The book praises wealth too much, hypes positive thinking too much, exagerrates the law of attraction, over-uses affirmations, and wants you to use God as a vending machine. Yuck.
