No significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. The Forbes and Entrepreneur pieces are from a contributor, which would not normally be considered independent or reliable as per WP:RSP. Fails WP:AUTHOR, WP:NACTOR and general notability guideline.

Delete Not notable author and actor. I cant see any reliable sources. AD ^Talk 07:48, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Sounds promotional more than anything and if his company was so special it'd probably already have an article. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 08:09, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Only notable claim is that he appeared as an Entrepreneur in The Secret documentary. The claims of "behavior expert" and "brain research and brain retraining" seem to be a case of WP:PUFF, considering that more recent, albeit (primary) sources state that he is not a medical doctor or research scientist. Article appears promotional. Sadsignal (talk) 08:30, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Hello everyone. I created this page because I found his books interesting and heard him on podcasts, also from The Secret. I was surprised there wasn't a page already. I am keen on self-help and self-improvement material and based this entry on those of other author/speakers such as Tony Gaskins and Tim Hurson, who I didn't think were as notable. Please advise if I can make this better. I'm new to this and the process is fascinating. You guys know best. GLingham (Talk) 10:14, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
