A Scientist's Guide to the Self Help Universe

The Psych Files podcast The Psych Files podcast

My recent episode on how someone with a scientific mind would view the various self-help books was fun to put together and getting a good reaction among my listeners.  It's a good critical thining guide to the popular but pretty mushy thinking world of self help.  I created a list of 14 things that really bother scientists about self help books and you can download the list from my site.  Very useful, I think, for a class in which teachers will talk about critical thinking or just the scientific attitude.  Check it out here:
