Very touchy-feely. It's all about "giving yourself permission". Uh, whatever. I wanted a real college-level class and this wasn't it. It was more a self-empowerment workshop. If you're into that kind of thing, fine. I think a lot of the "caring" is an act to make students think he's evolved. I wasn't impressed. And the book is lame.

My favorite thing about his classes was that I actually loved going, because he kept everything interesting and had great modules and explanations for everything he taught. He is also very entertaining, and brings out the best in everyone in the class. When you leave the class you feel like you know everyone there, and are really sad to see everyone go.
