Perhaps the author was just concerned that the people who most need that sort of help would only read it if it pretended to be of a like mind.
That's what I'd do if I wrote a book on being a nicer person.

*OMG, I know there was a term for this before the Internet, but I can't think of it. "Deception" perhaps?

I didn't think of that possibility, to be honest with you. I accepted it at face value. I'll try to read some of the Amazon preview, and some of the professional reviews. Thanks to alerting me to another possibility.
There are books which do advocate the very thing that this one might be pretending to. I'll have to think of some examples.
