I have reviewed the summary and asked a psychologist acquaintance to provide
her professional opinion.
The conclusion was that this is all drivel. None of this has ever been
proved - or indeed ever could be, as the assertions presented are simply not
susceptible to falsification or verification. The summary suggests that the
author has taken a set of personal statements and erroneously extrapolated
them to other people in order to make pots of money from credulous fools who
really need to stop asking others to order their entire existence for them.
