I posted here for a number of reasons;
1. The source of the suggestions don't seem to be all that important.
2. The quality of the suggestions doesn't seem all that important.
3. The type of person following the suggestions does not seem to be all that important.
The only thing that does seem to be important is the "doing" part of the suggestions.
"Remember only this; you need not believe the ideas, you need not accept them, and you need not even welcome them. Some of this you may actually resist. None of this will matter, or decrease their efficacy. But do not allow yourself to make exceptions in applying the ideas the workbook contains, and whatever your reactions to the ideas may be, use them. Nothing more than that is required."
