Review Detail

I am not 100% finished with the course. I have viewed the video "Brain Transplant," and I am going through the audio course over time. I confess to being disappointed in the video course. I am finding the audio portion of the course to be far more useful and far more interesting.

On the video -- There were several times (most vividly, if I recall correctly, between the 3rd and the 4th DVDs, or the 4th and the 5th maybe) when the topic shifted dramatically, and there was a big leap of logic, technique, and explanation (ie, I needed some "middle" to get to the "end" that they suddenly presented). The audio course is far superior at going step-by-step. The video makes leaps. I actually ejected the DVD once to check that it was, actually, the next DVD in sequence. Also, the video course appears to assume that I have read the "Mind of Mystery" book; the seminar course that is filmed features students who have all read the book. Therefore, as the book is not included in the course, there are "logic leaps" and topic leaps that I am missing.

I am a lawyer, and so, perhaps I am hyper-sensitive to typos. Yet, the DVDs themselves contain typos, and the pdf files that were included as a side guide to the course (with vocabulary and general framework) are RIDDLED with typos. It is as though nobody read the thing over (one cursory read-through would find plenty!).

I suppose, for something that costs me almost $2500, I expect more. I expect DVD menus that don't have patently obvious typos, and documents that appear to have never been read over. It looks rushed, and that is too bad. The leaps of logic in the DVDs are most disturbing though.

Thankfully, the audio course is quite well executed.

Part of the sales pitch of the course was that "Mystery would now focus on his new clients." I hope and I look forward to this. I am left with questions, and I hope he will nurture those who have invested in the course; the course does have confusing shortcomings.
