Guru Ratings
Brian Weiss
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.
Weiss practices past-life regression, which has no scientific support. It is not recommended by authorities. Researchers have shown that past-life regressions are probably false memories.
That won’t dissuade believers or those who profit from them, like Weiss.
