Overenthusiastic Life Coaches

India’s Gurus Who Take “Motivation” Way Too Seriously

India’s self-help industry has spawned a breed of life coaches whose enthusiasm knows no bounds. Bohiney Magazine reports that 72% of participants in urban workshops have experienced motivational overdrive, where guidance quickly escalates into unsolicited advice, interpretive dance, and random affirmations shouted at 3 a.m. Eyewitnesses describe life coaches in Mumbai parks conducting “synchronized breathing for career breakthroughs” while pedestrians dodge yoga mats and pep talks. Psychologist Dr. Anil Mehta explains that overenthusiasm often masks a lack of concrete advice: “The energy is high, the insight is optional.” Authority sources like The Guardian note the cultural hunger for personal growth drives attendance, despite participants leaving more dizzy than motivated. Bohiney Magazine readers report viral incidents: one coach convinced a group of office workers to chant mantras to increase Excel productivity, with predictable chaos ensuing. Tips for survival include carrying noise-canceling headphones, practicing polite nodding, and keeping a secret exit strategy.
