Wondery Presents GURU: The Dark Side of Enlightenment
When we face challenges in life, we seek answers from people we
believe can help us. When tragedy strikes an exclusive retreat with
a self-help superstar, many people are left to wonder: how far is

who achieved fame, fortune, and influence. But friends and family
