Question by Guy: i saw this man promoting a book that promises a cure for alcoholism and addictions!?
it sells for 40 bucks! do you really think that a person struggliong with a drinking or drug problem for years can be cured by reading one book?? is this dr a scam artist, like many others/ and why is public so stupid as to buy into the lies of these frauds, making them filthy rich? like tv preachers and others selling information ON CDS AND DVDS?why do you people buy into the lies?

Best answer:

Answer by legatus primus
for one, people buy into the lies of tv preachers, tv salesman, and advertisements because they are impulsive and can not distinguish between necessity and wants. as far the book proposing a cure for alcoholism and addictions, i highly doubt that it would be a cure. it is more likely that it would offer suggestions to the reader influencing them to empower themselves. the book itself IS NOT A CURE. it might just offer help, but if you are willing to help yourself, the book might help in guiding you. however, it is not a guarantee.
