One of my Landmarkian friends (sad now that it's not just one) has done some research about the reality TV show "Starting Over."
This show, where six women live together in a house in Chicago, uses Landmark techniques to encourage participants to break through old habits and thought patterns. Someone high up in the show -a producer or developer- went through Landmark. The "life coach" on the show is a Landmark graduate.
One of the participants who was afraid of heights was taken to a high dive at a local pool. The other participants and coach cheered for her to jump. She dallied for an hour and the other people started to leave when she called them back and jumped.

This friend is also exploring life coaching programs. One in Colorado is apparently run by a Landmark graduate-there is some connection to that and the person running the Chicago reality show. It uses "Fearless Living"
by Rhonda Britten as a teaching text.
The other in North Carolina/New Orleans uses an out-of-print book as its key text.
Thanks for the Landmark/Life coaching connections made on the board...I just thought it was something else she became interested in but the progression makes sense.
