In "Your Right to Be Rich", on the topic of Accurate Thinking, Hill
notes 3 red flags to signal the inaccuracy of an author:
notes 3 red flags to signal the inaccuracy of an author:
Motive: What is author's intentions?
Expertise: Is author an expert?
Fanatic: Is author fanatical?
Wallace is a CHEMIST, not an economist nor a psychologist.
Motive: Cult following? Greed?
Fanatic? I would have to say he's extreme and paranoid and defensive.

In article <25087-37...@newsd-102.iap.bryant.webtv.net>,I have read the classic business book, Think and Grow Rich by N. Hill.
Yes, Hill tends to ask whether an author's intentions are a public
sounding reason which sounds wonderful or a private one which may be
false-power, false-greed, or false-fame. Hill also hints at the
difference between perception and reality: some experts may be good
problem solvers and well respected and others may be good con artists
whose expertise is all a fascade/tinseltown showbiz/politics. Hill
believes that people do things either from a good set of motives like
serving the customer fairly or a bad set of motives (which includes the
motive of greed). Hill also tends to believe in a valid passion for
business vs a fanatical mispassion which some business dictators tend
to radiate. Yes, N. Hill in his writings tends to give sets of good
ideas for evaluating the difference between accurate thinking vs
inaccurate thinking. In the long run, it is accurate thinking which
provides the best long term solutions according to N. Hill.
