What isn't a lie is that Landmark are using (long discredited) psychotherapy methods and to make it worse these are being applied by quacks who have absolutely no recognised legitimate training, qualification or certification to be doing what they are doing. These people aren't trained counsellors, they're salesmen. Tony Robbins wannabes.
FACT: They are using a scripted system originally developed by a used car salesman who took many of his ideas straight out of Scientology. That's why the Scientologists ran a smear campaign against him.
None of Landmark's methods are based on any kind of credible, recognised peer reviewed practices or psychology research. If they were then courses like these would be accredited and run in colleges all over the world. On the other hand many colleges do run much cheaper and more credible courses in things like communications, assertiveness, etc.
What little grains of useful philosophical information exist in Landmark (and can be found in hundreds of self help books) are mixed up with an Amway type sales model and treatment of seminar paticipants that can only be described as psychological abuse. Very similar to the breakdown interrogation techniques that were used on POWs, Guantanamo Bay, etc. Public humiliation doesn't help anyone to deal with anything.
Look up operant conditioning because this is something that appears to happen right through the "curriculum" - particualrly based on how many new customers participants recruit. I've seen first hand Landmark participants feeling guilty about not meeting recruitment (sorry "enrollment") quotas.
Experts (i.e. trained psychologists and psychiatrists) in France have testified to the promlems with Landmark.
Frankly you sound like one of these Trump supporting MGTOW Incels. You do know that's a major racket you're running?? Or is that you being "authentic"?
