Ugh, that Oprah show about Beyond The Secret was painful to watch.
Its interesting that they target women 100% with this stuff. Only one male on the entire show, and it was more of a joke.
The entire show can be summed up with...
The Confirmation Bias. [

Not one shread of real evidence. Zero.
One of Oprah's experts, is Martha Beck. She appears to be a former Mormon, who wrote about book about how to stop being gay with her husband, then they both turned gay! Must be a great book.
Also, she claims to have had Recovered Memories, and all 7 of her siblings have written a statment saying she has fabricated her past.

So that is another wonderful Oprah 'expert'.
Anyone can see Martha Beck is just trying to cash in on The Secret, this week, some diet next week.
Oprah may have done some good things in the world, but this hammering of The Secret and Eckhart Tolle and the rest of it is a disgrace.
Its clear its all done deliberately, as they never show ONE real expert who questions or disputes the ideas in any way whatsoever. Its propaganda.
They set up the Wishful Thinking, give some Confirmation Bias and Testimonials, pitch the books and products without any questioning whatsoever.
It really is disgraceful.
