Hi Kaffy,
It was less about the CD being $97 and more about it not being a "cure" (in my experience); if the CD had been advertised as a useful addition to existing treatments for depression, then sure, I might have been willing to pay $25 for such information, though I probably would have gone out and bought a book instead, since I can at least browse it before I buy.
Now, did I REALLY expect that something advertised on the Internet for $97 would be a magical cure for depression? No, not really, but I figured I'd risk it on the small chance that there was something new and wonderful here, and they did issue me a refund --- no questions asked --- so I can't complain.
As for your comment on altering behaviour, I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that altering behaviour is a necessary part of effecting a cure, or that a successful cure will result in alteration of behavior?
Thanks,
Noddy
> Noddy, Thank you for an interesting perspective; would you have kept the CD if it had sole for, say, $25? And, as with most things, there cannot be a 'CURE' unless we alter our behaviour - would you agree that that is an important ingredient? Thanks in advance. Kaffy.
