Hmm. To me, it seems not. Or at least, it seems an everyday expertise knowledge, derived from direct experience. He does not seem to be a qualified expert. The goal here is to sell the books.
- amelius 8y agoFrom the website: > the purchase of the book is totally optional, so please do take the time to look around my site Also, the book is only 13 pounds, so I don't they they are making a lot of money out of it. Perhaps they use the money to keep the website running?
- _cereal 8y agoYes, I read that sentence before writing and your argument about the website expenses can be valid. It does not change my main point: when it is about health one should search for information from qualified professionals. For example: 1. https://www.anxiety.org/panic-disorder-panic-attacks https://www.anxiety.org/panic-disorder-panic-attacks 2. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/panic-attacks/symptoms-causes/syc-20376021 https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/panic-attacks... A personal experience can be illuminating sometimes but it cannot be considered an alternative approach. For this reason, I do not consider it a good source. Just my opinion.
- amelius 8y agoYou could be right, but on the other hand many qualified professionals prescribe Zoloft or Xanax and be done with it. A personal account (which in fact many of the comments here on HN are) can be very helpful, if only as a reference when talking to real professionals.
