Scathing expose of self help promoters, their books and seminars (and the big money made on all of that!). Salerno is probably preaching to the choir as those who waste their money and time on the self help industry are unlikey to read this. Unnecessarily mean spirited in a few places. For example, James Randi is NOT a repentant magician, as Salerno claims, but a magician who uses his skills to expose 'psychics' who pass magic tricks off as paranormal abilities (as he did with Uri Geller many years ago).
The vast majority of the info is eye opening and useful. The chapter on bogus medical treatments (Patient, Heal Thyself) is especially interesting .
