Are you talking about subliminals/hypnosis at all or just related to weight loss? I am asking because I think I purchased the book several years ago and would like to know if it is real or not. (At least if his first name starts with S. and the last name with J. - and a mid initial I left out)
I'm talking about my area of focus. I don't remember his name off the top of my head, but I have his book somewhere at home.
The book I have has some good information in it, don't get me wrong. But it also blatantly displays the man's faulty thinking which seems to arise from either gross negligence, arrogance or laziness concerning the scientific method. I can't use the scientific method as strictly as I would like right now because of lack of funds, but I assure you that I know what I know because I don't assume things and jumping to conclusions before finding out what happens when I do XYZ.
I didn't even finish reading it after finding that part of the book. It was just mind boggling.
