Before you downvote this, keep in mind that the founder comes from a Mormon background - perfect upbringing to be trained as a salesman

Another example of selling snake-oil ideas comes from the author of the book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People":

"According to Clayton Christensen, The Seven Habits was a secular distillation of Latter-day Saint values." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Covey
