@SinisterLex Thank you for all your insights thus far, it's an eye-opener watching you deconstruct guru tactics. In kind of the same vein, I was wondering if you may have any thoughts on or experiences with Transcendental Meditation? There's a lot of conflicting research, info, and criticism out there, and I recently decided to go to an introductory seminar (sales pitch) after reading Ray Dalio's strong endorsement in Principles.
They want $740 for four 60-90 minute training sessions, which ostensibly goes to their foundation to teach the TM technique to kids in developing countries. It feels a bit cultish and the whole "you can't learn it from a book because you need a qualified teacher to guide you and give you a personalized mantra" thing is setting off alarm bells. Hope I'm not distracting from the main topic, just thought I'd throw it out there as more potential guruism. My guru-dar still leaves something to be desired so I go back and forth with the validity of the organization.
