Sham by Steve Salerno
In this book, the author goes deep inside the 'Self-Help and Actualization Movement' to offer the serious expose of this multibillion-dollar industry and the real damage it is doing - not just to its paying customers but to all of society.
"Funny, naughty, and wise, Steve Salerno's SHAM is the must-read antidote to DrPhil, Tony Robbins, and the whole cracked pot of pop psychology." Greg Critser, author of Fat Land; "In an age of self-help, why are so many of us helpless? Why do so many self-help gurus, from Dr. Phil on down, create followers rather than independent souls? Steve Salerno exposes the SHAM with ruthless honesty destined to make more than a few people angry. Its subtitle should be: Who is Analyzing the Analysts?" Dr. Michael Hurd, author of Effective Therapy and Grow Up America!
