MOHO Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I think that those who feel they should always be happy and content and not have to face death might benefit from the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are giving him too much credit. I've watched several of his videos on youtube just today. The funnest one was when he dissected the story of Peter Pan as if it contains life lessons. It's just a children's story. He seems to preach a lot but offer no foundation for why his claims are justified. Edit: Oh I get it. You mean he is like them in popularity. I'm reading your other thread now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymistake Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Well there are no transgendered characters in the Peter Pan book so . . . checkmate transgenders! *(Peter Pan plays and films do not count because . . . reasons.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Margee Posted January 30, 2018 Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2018 I watch quite a bit of him and I love some of the things he has to say and I also disagree with some. But overall, I think he gives out some great strategies for life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one does that then they can enjoy the 90% of his content that is really actually quite interesting. I say all this as someone who has seen most of the Bible series lectures and many more. Very True TS. There is a lot of 'woo' out there with too many good teachers, unfortunately. And they are good teachers even if they still have some kind of 'woo' in their lives. Sometimes I even listen to the 'woo' for a while to see if it makes sense to me. There are a lot of good teachers out there who have a lot to offer in information and I personally am always careful. I listen to only the good stuff that I can practice in my own life. With this guy, I haven't watched one of his lectures on the bible. Don't even want to hear it. So I tend to watch some of his strategies for dealing with fear, depression...etc...... and enjoy those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he has to say in this video is true, but also somewhat obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, this lecture (start at 50 minutes to the end for anyone interested) is one of the greatest lectures I have ever heard on the topic of depression, searching for happiness, responsibility, and relationships because I believe he is speaking some real truths here. The whole lecture was awesome. He talks about introverted people and extroverted people at the beginning. So very interesting. He also talks about the differences between men and woman. All this information is so valuable (to me anyway). I wish I knew all of this when I was younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
