    I keep seeing his ad in science magazines and I have no idea what he is selling. I read his ad over and over and I just don't get it. Isn't it just common sense?

    Not if you're the kind of mental dwarf who buys books with titles like The Dynamics of Human Relations: How To Succeed with People and How To Get Your Ideas Across and How To Get Leadership and Influence. The kind of books that promise the world and deliver only platitudes. They are mystifyingly popular though. Licences to print money. I might write a few.

    It tells you right in that link you posted that his name is Richard W. Wetherill and that the company he founded (and the books he wrote) teach business leadership skills. I've known some people who took some of those classes. They are very similar to Dale Carnegie's stuff.

    I mean, is he just a door to door show salesman who wrote self help books or did he used to be a cult leader and they are continuing his work?!

    They're a publishing house. They probably don't have to pay him any royalties any more (ok, ok - maybe a dollar or two to his estate..).

    Edit: Actually, he seems to be their only author. So maybe run by his estate?

    Others are already writing books very similar to his today. They are all about the same thing, self help.

    A number of Wetherill's books

    can be studied free of charge at The Alpha Publishing House.

    His associates have recently begun funding public service advertising, though Wetherill first identified the law of absolute right decades ago which states that right action gets right results, wrong action gets wrong results.

    The careful and honest student may conclude that mankind's internal blinders have previously prevented him from helping himself and others in any meaningful way.

    We've all been controlled by innumerable unconscious internal blinders but we haven't been aware of that fact. The unconscious distortions of logic cause all our problems.

    This information is for the first time putting people in a position to begin to solve their problems.
