That's too bad, because despite Ralph's austere image and Pat's snarly one, they're both strangely good company and great talkers...
...virtually always true, and the program, which promises that it "can be completed in less than one year," asserts, "You have more natural energy when you are complete with your environment, well-being, money and relationships." Once you have swept clean, you can go on to the NeedLess Program, which makes the incredible claim that you can learn how to have all your needs permanently met. It takes you through the steps of identifying 20 unmet needs, reducing them to the four most important ones and then redirecting your behavior and that of those around you to get them...
