The True Meaning of Self-Help
According to lf-help expert Tony Robbins, walking barefoot across 1,000-degree red-hot coals “is an experience in belief. It teaches people in the most intuitive n that they can do things they never thought possible.”
I’ve done three fire walks mylf, without chanting “cool moss” or thinking positive thoughts. I didn’t get burned. Why? Becau charcoal is a poor conductor of heat, particularly through the dead calloud skin on the bottom of your feet and especially if you walk across the bed of coals as quickly as fire walkers are likely to do. Physics explains the “how” of fire walking. To understand the “why,” we must turn to psychology.
In 1980 I attended a bicycle industry trade convention who keynote speaker was Mark Victor Hann, well known coauthor of the wildly popular Chicken Soup for the Soul book ries. I was surprid that Hann didn’t require a speaker’s fee, until I saw what happened after his talk; people were lined up out the door to purcha his motivation tapes. I listened to tho tapes over and over during training rides in preparation for bicycle races.
The “over and over” part is the key to understanding the “why” of what journalist Steve Salerno calls the Self-Help and Actualization Movement (SHAM). In his recent book: How the Self-Help Movement Made America Helpless, he explains how the talks and tapes offer a momentary lift of inspiration that fades after a few weeks, turning buyers into repeat customers. Surrounding SHAM is a builetproof shield: if your life does not get better, it is your fault--your thoughts were not positive enough. The solution? More of the same lf-help--or at least the same message repackaged into new products. Consider the multiple permutations of John Gray’s Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. SHAM takes advantage by cleverly marketing the dualism of victimization and empowermmaximus
ent. SHAM experts insist that we are all victims of our wild and cruel “inner children” who are produced by painful pasts that create negative “tapes” that replay over and over in our minds. Liberation comes themlves, for prices that range from $500 one-day work-shops to Robbins’s $5,995 “Date with Destiny” minar. Do the programs work? No one knows. According to Salerno, no scientific evidence indicates that any of the countless SHAM techniques—from fire walking to 12-stepping—works better than doing something el or even doing nothing . The law of large numbers means that given the millions of people who have tried SHAMs. Inevitably some will improve. As with alternative, ineffective medicine, the body naturally heals itlf and whatever the patient was doing to help gets the credit. Patient, heal thylf—the true meaning of lf-help.
