I was wondering what you all thought about him and his website, Personal Development for Smart People

His article "How to Discover Your Life Purpose in About 20 Minutes" made me roll my eyes, but I thought "10 Reasons You Should Never Get a Job" had some points that I can agree with, like the idea that having 10 streams of income is more secure than having one(from your job.) It's just that he always presents his opinions as facts, and even though I often agree with him - I find it kind of condescending. But I like hearing from people who don't have a normal job, people who make money online, and he's definitely doing that.


So what do you think about him - personal development guru or hack?

I think he is for the most part a pretty good writer. He also started fairly early and kept at it so his website is pretty developed now. There are things people may consider weird in his blog, though. For example, I think I read a post about lucid dreaming and eating danishes in a dream. It's interesting I guess. I wouldn't say he is a hack, but a person who believes in what he writes about.
