Landmark teachings are all useless in the context of true creative and successful work. Creativity needs time, work and endurance, not hype, endless phone calls and nonsense coachings

QuoteZorroOne of the first things that struck me about what Landmark is teaching people is stuff that most of us already know as well as stuff that they have borrowed from someone else and repackaged it. I used to discuss this very topic with one of my Lekkie friends when I was in there. Everytime a Landmark instructor would give the class a piece of wisdom it seemed like I had heard it from s

QuoteBlue Pill This is NOT a healthy lifestyle. If Landmark were genuinely concerned about the "well being" of their assistants (that always made me laugh), they would proactively monitor the time people were giving up and set limits to allow them to "Have a life" outside Landmark. Of course in reality, Landmark couldn't care less about the well being of t

my opinion is the internet will finally bring out the full truth and kill off Landmark, and that is what I am looking forward to. Landmark has many manipulative techniques to influence people and conversation, but as you can see from the internet they can't shut down the critical conversations even if they try all the time. For example, 250 people are on the pro-Landmark tribe, 30 people
