I think the bullshit part of these self help seminars isn't the notion that people are unable to help themselves, or through attitude or behavioral changes make significant positive adjustments to their lives. I think the bullshit is the notion they're trying to pass off that you can do anything if you put your mind to it!


Well, it is truth actually. You can do practically anything if you have the motivational power and don't give up. Of course it excludes impossible things as flying, becoming a world champion at boxing at age 44 or becoming a model if you are ugly looking. However, if you have realistic goals, for example, build a condo, buy a lamborgini or become very professional at something you are just good at. With huge effort+willpower+mind state+self hypnosis you can attain any almost any goal you want. The problem is - a lot of people can't motivate themselves, they don't have enough willpower, they give up easely and then they deside they have to pay for this simple information you can find practically anywhere.

BTW - That self hypnosis thing is not bullshit, I've tried it and it works. You can somehow hack your subcosncious mind to be in the positive state and it will come out and you will be another person. I didn't pay for it tho' (read: torrent shop).

Actually you are wrong. Fish do this as even when dead if their nerves are being stimulated. I know this because I've seen people cut the fish open, take all of its guts out, so there is only backbone and nothing else, but when they touch the backbone with knife, fish moves in spasms. Those are only nerve impulses, but the fish is dead.
