Does this stuff actually work or is it a load of old tosh?
Simple answer YES and NO
YES if you believe in it, or maybe want to believe
NO if you dont belive for for scepticism is greater than your core beliefs on the subject
Theres no magic and cloaks and daggers involved, although obviously this the baggage often associated with it.
Its a simple psycological tool, its works in exactly the same was as advertising, peer pressure or even bribary. If you believe or want to believe (usually) then it will work.
