How Accurate Are Blogs?
The accuracy of a blog can vary greatly depending on the source of the blog. Some blogs on the internet can be sources of great misinformation. However, many blogs, like those here by Recover Clarity, are founded on facts and written by a professional in the industry. Regardless of the source of the blog it is important that you take the information for what it is, just information. The Founder of Recover Clarity writes the blogs on this website, and it combines the information that he has learned over his 20 years working in addiction treatment, being a Professor of Psychology, and his love and passion for Holistic practices to better life. Many blogs on professional websites such as here at Recover Clarity are meant to provide useful knowledge on topics that relate to the business industry of that website. As well as blogs on other industry related sites are often meant to only assist in educating the site visitors on a topic related to their business.
Just because a blog is not written by a professional in the field does not mean that includes misinformation. There are many bloggers that, maybe not professionally trained in an area, are highly knowledgeable on the topic, likely from the amount of personal time spent learning and reading on topics.
