Regardless, I think that it must be stated that there is going to be a learning process (a lot of work and understanding). We're so conditioned to so-called quick "tip" and quick "fixes". So much so that we think "good" is quick and simple.

So (like me), when you have heard many good things about TGM,and someone is telling you that it has the answers, and then you open it up for the first time, and realize you can't uderstand anything (at first) there is enormous disappointment. I'd soften this blow.

I'd question if anyone has opened TGM for the first time, immediately got a smile on their face, and said "Yeah, that's what I was thinking all along, this is so warm and comfortable." (Unless you've been studying The Forum and Archives).

Yet another thing:
I'd be sure to mention the role of FEEL in TGM. Translating correct mechanics to FEEL. You play by feel. So many people: "I don't like to think about mechanics. That's what TGM is about, That's why I don't like TGM" Uh, no mechanics is part of it, but you play by feel.
