SHAM: How the Self-Help Movement Made America Helpless
by Steve Salerno
The shame of pushing shams(3/21/2010)
Salerno's book needs to be read by all who purport to help others. When the basic motivation is to make money and self-promotion the needs of others (their 'clients') are lost. Unfortunately those who pay for the works of these shamans cannot look with objectivity because the parted dollars have given them a vested interest in believing they are getting better.
Let us hope more people will see the light and start to do things for themselves and stop seeing the world through the eyes of a victim.
