Pros :
1) Learnt how one creates in-authenticities, rackets, frauds in one’s mind and how it would impact one’s relationships and life.
2) Learnt how integrity in life makes one accomplish his goals.
3) Happened to meet and interact with many other people having problems of larger magnitude. In front of them, my so called problems were seen insignificant.
4) Learnt how our identities get created by our past events in life and how we become what we are today.
5) How one can take accountability, responsibility of whatever that has happened in ones life.
6) Finally life is meaningless and has nothing. How one can create everything his new world of power, freedom, self expression, declaration, etc.,

Cons :
1) High Marketing and Sales Pitch used. There was so much hype created in Day 1 and Day 2 about the outcome and transformation on Day 3. They promised a Roller coaster ride which it was, but in the end the Roller coaster crashed on hard ground. The hype created resulted in huge disappointment.
2) Them pushing people aggressively to register for Advanced Course left very bad taste of the whole experience. Using the Forum leader’s own language, it was like a drop of Piss in a glass of water…:)
3) Them pressurizing one to bring and enroll a minimum of 3 guests reminded me of MLM, Direct Marketing / Selling companies.
4) Transformation in 3 days promised was complete Bullshit.
5) In their own taught language and vocabulary, I analyzed the in-authenticities, Rackets, Frauds, lack of integrity, Landmark plays to get more participants.

On the whole, if someone has had a bad life or going through troubles, this course is a MUST recommended, to get a new perspective and restart life. For others, you can consider doing it if you dont have much to do on a weekend. For sure, they dont teach you something bad. But be selective, use your choice and decision making power (self expression) and dont fall into trap of further registering to Advance Course, till you are convinced and seen the full effects of Landmark Forum.

Please remember, end of the day, they are just a company with profit motives, intelligently playing with emotions and their large stated objectives of trying to change the world, mankind and humanity. Especially in India, most people fall for such things, become volunteers for life thinking as if they are working for an NGO, Charitable Organization or a Religious cause.

After a while, I started reading reviews, and there were equally good and bad reviews. People claiming “It changed my life” to “its nothing but a cult, renamed EST.. etc etc”. I became skeptical and decided not to attend the course (did not mind losing money).

What happened next pissed me off! just before a week they called up asking for money. When I said that I’ve changed my mind and am not going to attend.. the caller’s tone changed and became harsh. He started in a kind of yelling tone and accused me of “not following my commitment.” I was taken back.. and we had a few minutes of heated conversation. Additionally there was one more caller, who identified himself as the lead of Chennai city.. and asked me to pay the money and attend the course. When I said “no”, the whole story started again. Finally I cut him off with a strong statement.

It may have worked for many people. But I am not ready to join some bad-ass-aching 3 day course, just to make my life better. Instead I’d prefer to spend the money buying some good SI books.
