Placebos are great for things you can do nothing about. If you caught the common cold and a placebo makes you feel better then great. But if you have Repetitive Strain Injury (emphasis on repetitive and injury) and your cure is placebo then you're setting yourself up for something nasty.
I'll quote the article:
> I can type as much as I want, in whatever unergonomic position I want, on any keyboard, without any pain. The amazing thing about this recovery is that the changes I implemented were entirely psychological.
Sounds great, but I'd rather recommend to not buy the book and invest in a good chair with a comfortable desk instead. Also, breaks, stretching and yadda yadda.
So the guy who wrote the article took an open minded approach tried numerous methods until he found something that worked (including all the things you seem to suggest).
Your recommendation not to buy the book is based on what evidence exactly?
