Big claims are made for these books, but they have not made a corresponding splash. It is not unreasonable to assume that the claims are exaggerated. I could read the books to find out, but then the same is true of the Upanishads, the Koran, The Shack, The Secret, The Bible Code... Life's too short to pursue every hyped-up rabbit that crosses the field.
There seems to be a lot of assuming on your part.
It seems a bit odd someone would make a stance on something before they themselves explored it first. It's perfectly fine if you do not intend to read it or consider it, but please do not then assume anything about it.
