Just something a Tom Kirkham said about the word "expert".

I was not that impressed with "Don't think of an elephant" It seemed to me that he got several things rather blatantly wrong.

Having said that, I cannot remember what those things were, just that impression that I came away with from the book, that it was not that good.
