❀ the cult of: ➥motivational speakers ➥life coaches ➥personal growth gurus ➥new-age charlatans ➥AWESOMENESS FEST

magical thinking always leads tot he same thought, its a universal constant

THERE IS that one guy with braided hair who seem slike he has the most BS job in the universe - like he a "spiritual consultant" or something

mv people seem to talk about the secret a lot

I've always thought that an "America's Best Motivational Speaker" would be reality show gold. Winners are determined by who can gain the most followers with special weekly challenges for motivating/coaching addicts, jobless, etc.

I love this guy's blogging

this just all makes me want to start a spoof life coaching/personal growth website (that will "accidentally" be taken seriously and make me a wealthy cult leader)

@clearpathtofollw I am a straight woman, so I don't see how it's gay, and it is a practical observation, I bet his load is delicious, with all the natural raw juice and fruits and veggies he eats, and water, I bet it is super clean and fresh. An enjoyable out come for any lady who gets to go down on him.

i would support you on this. barring that, though, this whole thread is rife for TV series treatment. like "party down" but, you know, a couple of guys who go around to different offices to give motivational seminars.

lol now i want a comedic series based based on motivational speakers in the style of Party Down

At TED, “everyone is Steve Jobs” and every idea is treated like an iPad. The conferences have come to resemble religious meetings and the Ted talks techno-spiritual sermons, pushing an evangelical, cultish attitude toward “the new ideas that will change the world.” Everything becomes “magical” and “inspirational.” In just the top-ten most-viewed TED talks, we get the messages of “inspiration,” “astonishment,” “insight,” “mathmagic” and the “thrilling potential of SixthSense technology”! ...

There are consequences to having this style of discourse dominate how technology’s role in society is understood. Where are the voices critical of corporatism? Where is there space to reach larger publics without having to take on the role of a salesperson, preacher, or self-help guru?

do we have a TED thread? (no thread police)

TED: Ideas Worth Spreading

What’s infuriating is how Silicon Valley capitalism consistently attempts to sell itself as outside or even above corporatism. In announcing Facebook’s IPO, Mark Zuckerberg, whose company has consistently violated user privacy in the name of profit, stated that “we don’t build services to make money.”

Starting today, MindValley will be one of the first companies to be completely devoted to sharing everything about their business in an open source model. This means every template, every meeting, every spreadsheet about how they run their business will be shared online.
