Tallyman has seen fit to make an unprovoked attack on me and my book, "The Game Rules for Life."
Well, maybe you look upon it as “unprovoked”, but reading what Tallyman said, I’d say he was provoked. Facts are too many people are trying to make lots of money on others misery and “happiness” is sold for billions every year. Religious zealots, political lunatics, psychiatrists, fortune tellers and “New-Age” healers are doing a lot of damage to people already beaten up. The general idea that someone will achieve “more success in every aspect of your life” by reading a book – no matter if it’s sold or given away – is highly overrated, to say it the least.
I have given away far more copies of my book than I have ever sold. I have offered my book free of charge here in this forum several times to those who would like to read it. Many have taken me up on it, and I have shipped it at my own expense around the world.
Maybe so, I don’t say you haven’t done that. And I don’t really think that’s what provoked Tallyman either. Take a look at what he’s really saying:
Like it is a REEL Klass Akt for someone to come into a forum
where there are a lot of hurting, vulnerable people, who have
just left a cult, or trying to get out of the Watchtowercult...
and beside a poster's name, put a link to a BUSINESS WEBSITE
advertising "empowerment".
It’s a fact there is a lot of vulnerable people on this site, just like Tallyman say, and because of that he reacts to the fact that people are advertising how to get MOTIVATED and EMPOWERED and BUILD SELF-ESTEEM for hard cash on a site like this.
Personally I haven’t read your book, and I therefore can’t say anything pro or con the content or the advices you give people to be “more success filled in every aspect of life” – but I have to admit I’m generally rather skeptical to contentions like that. Facts of life tells us most people aren’t “great successes” – even though I’m sure everybody would like to be a staggering success in everything from personal relations to business-life.
I guess I don’t agree in your claim that Tallyman attacked you “unprovoked” – because primary claims like the ones you’re promoting can be provocative to a lot of people – me included.
But, as I said – I don’t know your book. IF you learn what you claim – I’m amazed the book isn’t a staggering success. According to yourself you have to give it away.
This could be because of your good heart and a pure will to help others.
This could also be because the book doesn’t stand further investigation into facts.
