Experts? Authorities? Why Am I Listening to these People?

Slow Down FAST: A Revolutionary Guide for Being Productive, Efficient, and Effective states that there are so many people trying to give you advice and trying to get you to buy a certain product that we sometimes have to stop and ask ourselves “why am I listening to this person?”
Here’s a quote from my Special Report Slow Down FAST: A Revolutionary Guide for Being Productive, Efficient, and Effective:
“Oftentimes, we buy what the “experts” have to say… literally, we pull out our credit cards, and we buy the magic pill or solution because we really believe it will help. But other times, we stop and ask ourselves, “Why am I listening to this person? Who is to say that their way is the right way?” Indeed, it’s difficult to make a sound judgment when everyone is an expert and they’re all feeding you different advice. And precisely because the playing field has been leveled, we’re forced to ask the question: Is this person the real deal? Or is it just another fraud, ready to prey upon our insecurity, our vulnerability, our appetite for novelty and excitement, and our suggestible nature, as a means of assuring their own financial gain?.”
