Comment by John Hunter (john-hunter) on The Landmark Forum — a rationalist's first impression · 2021-08-10T11:42:06.697Z · LW · GW

I completed a PhD on est, Lifespring and Landmark (Stress-induced hypomania in healthy participants: the allostatic manic defence hypothesis). I would encourage any person considering participating to read the elements relating to indoctrination and these trainings. You've highlighted a few elements (no, you're not being silly thinking the excessive use of the word 'enrol' might be strategic) but there's a lot more to it.
