I’m big on self-awareness so it pissed me off when I read this article on fire-walking titled In teaching self-awareness, some like it hot. The journalist (or the editor) doesn’t give sufficient information on alternative explanations for how people can walk on hot coals. There’s a scientific explanation for it called “specific heat.”
The workshop leader exhorts participants to think: “If I can walk on fire, I can do anything.” Shit like that gives self-awareness a bad name.
