Pet Peeve

From Spiked, a book review Self Help: More than just a Sham, reviewing SHAM: How the gurus of the self-help movement make us helpless, by Nicholas Brealey. One of my pet peeves. The reviewer r mentions several fakirs including "Dr." John Gray, who wrote Men are from Mars - a charlatan right down to his phony doctorate. Like Chopra, Gray is a graduate of the Maharishi's scamming system. The Skeptic's Dictionary has a longer entry on Chopra.
