I am sure the author is a very nice person but this is self-help fascism in the sense that what he offers is not a dorection to self actualisation but some sort of militaristic struggle to achieve with a capital A.

Commit to make 10x the money you made! This is the prime example of idiocy, firstly what if you made very very little then this is automatically achievable, secondly what if you made a huge amount because you are in a high paying job, is it even possible to earn 10x? And in any case how does that relate to self actualisation?

Some information is valuable, many of the experiments he recounts are inspiring but the overall philosophy of life seems sick to me. ( )

Limited tactics for diverse lifestyles, capabilities, and capacities. No references. ( )

Looking at all the positive reviews I can't help but wonder if Benjamin Hardy fans have invaded all the early reviews.

This is a blog post masquerading as a bad book. The entire message can be summed up into: "Your environment influences the person you are, so structure an environment that helps you be a person you want to be." There, I just saved you from reading a mind-numbing 200 pages in which the author repeats this idea ad-nauseum, never aware that this is not the least bit controversial.

Mr. Hardy wrote another cliched self-help book that uses misapplied science (jumping fleas!) and poor analogies to hammer a simplistic message. Its as if he did all his research watching TED talks, wrote a blog post, leveraged that into a book and filled it with hot air. ( )
