  • 25 modules have now been published on line. A further seven are due to be published before end of Feb taking the final total to 32.
  • The Method has been accessed by people in 56 different countries including 20 unique users in Japan and four in Nigeria.
  • As expected, the bulk of the audience to date has been from the UK and western Europe, particularly Belgium, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. Around 2% of traffic has come from the USA.
