I am willing to lay significant odds that you have not experienced this, and we can use other 2+2ers as unbiased judges. Just to clarify, I'm sure that some of the basic claims are true. Obviously you can influence others' attitudes with body language and certain other non-verbal cues. It's the extravagance and magical thinking claims of the webpage that make it unbelievable. No amount of training in "rapport" can cause you to have what amounts to psychic abilities.

I have no idea what you think they are claiming. There's nothing psychic about it, at least as far as I know. The extravagance and 'magical thinking' claims are marketing bollocks. I know for a fact that Tom does not believe in any magical thinking, and I don't think there's any mention of magical thinking on the site. There is mention of magical rapport, but that is just a brand name.

The skills are basically social skills. And they work. There's only 1 person that can prove to you that they work, and that is you.
