Landmark Education, the Forum, and its previous incarnation EST (Erhard Seminar Training) has a deeply troubled history, which is well-documented through substantial and repeated bad press, complaints and litigation.
Anyone considering involvement with this organization in any way shape or form, should read about the group carefully and in-depth from numerous sources before becoming involved.

Also, historically there seem to be inherent problems with mass marathon training programs like the Forum.

Based upon the level of complaints I have received and continue to receive, I would not recommend Landmark or its courses to anyone under any circumstances.
It is not necessary to experience something first-hand to draw meaningful conclusions and form an opinion. Obviously, consumers and researchers do so constantly.
Landmark's "positive results" are essentially anecdotal stories based upon subjective experience and/or personal testimonials.
I am not aware of any scientific study, which has been peer reviewed and published, that objectively measures and verifies results regarding any program presented by Landmark Education.
Landmark is a for-profit privately owned company. The income from this enterprise has made its founder Werner Erhard a very wealthy man. He lives comfortably now in the Cayman Islands and Landmark pays him licensing fees.
Landmark collects many millions of dollars each year and has proven to be a very lucrative money making venture.
