$ Fix Me $

It would cost someone $3,425 for a series Landmark Education courses. I would call it "the full experience."  You think your life is screwed up? Having doubts about reaching your bloody potential? Maybe you could just take a chance and find out for yourself. Talk to a friend and save the money for something that really will benefit you for the rest of your life - like a week in Hawaii with your favorite person. Don't let organizations like Landmark and PSI steal your money because that is what they do. Oh, sure some people claim that they help you. They help you alienate your old life and your real friends and family. This is what you get when you could get the advice you need to hear from a friend or family for free.
Here's the bloody breakdown:
The Landmark Forum: $510. It's a full weekend. All day. Teens and youngin's have their own program too!
The Advanced Course: $850. 4 days
There are two Communication Courses: one is $425, the other is $675. "Access to Power" (3 days, prerequisite is the Landmark Forum) and "Power to Create" (3 days and requires you've completed "Access to Power").
The Direct Access: Creating the Future You Really Want: A 2 day (Sat. & Sun.) seminar that is only in NY or LA. So airfare is extra.
SELP (Self Expression and Leadership Program). $220  I think this is where they teach you how to recruit. They claim is is part of a two year training, but the program itself is over the period of several months. * Prerequisite course of Advanced Seminar.
There are additional seminars, like on on intimacy which is 30 hours.  3 hours every week for 10 weeks. Most are $125. All require The Landmark Forum as a prerequisite. Some have other seminars as prerequisite.  So if you take two you've now spent $3,425 and have a lost a total of at least one consecutive month of your life (adding all the days together is at least 26 assuming you can double up on SELP and a seminar as a fun example).

Feel any better?

That's a lot of money and a lot b.s. to take in.

Also, if you're considering this seriously, talk to a friend who doesn't speak any weird lingo. Like using the words "empowerment," or "realizing your full potential," or "actuality," etc... Talk to a normal person who has never been brainwashed (aka forced or volunteered into a seminar on SELF-HELP).
SELF HELP starts with helping YOURSELF and not letting complete strangers tell you what's wrong with you. You're smart enough to know what's wrong and what to do to fix it or ultimately accept it. There are some things we can't change!
