There are many people who feel they need help or who are trying to find themselves. So they invest their money and faith into products and services which they believe will improve their lives. Do these products and classes really improve your life? For one day, a group of people attend a one-day class that teaches you how to become better with your life by walking through glass and fire which, by what the instructer says is a breakthrough in the person's life. It seems like a big deal, but in reality-it's not. There's a rational answer as to why your feet won't be burned or hurt. Penn and Teller shows you how much bullshit is in these self-help programs and to show you that the only help you need is to help yourself.
