Interesting perspecive Clément, thank you.

I have been to UPW, like you, and went in with a different mindest. Here is my thinking (for what it may be worth):

1/ My life is not up to others, it's up to me. McClendon did not impress me, Tony Robbins did, because I sincerely believe he has done his homework. He understands human psychology and what triggers behaviour and this is what he teaches. If only you are careful in actively learning from it. He has (and continues) to lead a rich life, not just in terms of money, but in terms of experiences, which he agressively pursues. Are you sincerely living your life to its fullest potential? (serious question, not being facetious). If not, how could you?

2/ His obligation (in exchange for your money) is to propose a methodology and strategies. He does not have any obligation to get results. This is the same for an osteopath or a teacher for that matter. Getting a Harvard degree is not a ticket to riches and a great life, you still need to make good decisions every day.

3/ Doctors supposedly act in accordance with proven scientific methodologies, yet I believe many of them are winging it, and many actually kill people through therapies which may be grounded in science, but - oops - did not work for this patient. Sorry.

Science is not holy.

4/ Don't be gullible, just like with advertising. Keep what is useful, discard what is not.

I did not buy any of the other stuff they were pushing because I saw it for what is was. I do feel that I learned a lot, got realignment and gained insights and experience from it. So a net positive. And then I moved on...
