It seems to me the self-help and actualisation movement has responded, in part, not by reinventing a discourse on subjectivity but by trying to pretend what they’re flogging is as objective (and therefore ‘credible’) as genetics, neurology or physics. Then again, I wouldn’t be too keen to reduce it down to reptilian structures in the brain either.
