    0sm0sis for the win!!!I thought this site was purely satire until I realized this guy is so full of himself that he doesn't know just how ignorant he sounds. Case in point, read "10 Reasons You Should Never Get a Job". This site reeks of neo-hippyism, none of which says intelligence. Besides, similar to what 0sm0sis said, any self-respecting intelligent person doesn't need a website "for smart people", especially one whose author has no true credentials or any facts and/or studies to back up any of his information beyond the seriously vague. All-in-all this guy is a 100% bonafide hack.EDIT: It's crazy how many people on here blindly take his advice as if he knows what he's talking about. I'm sure he doesn't truly believe in what he preaches, otherwise he would have had no money to start his "business" which would go against his whole "anti-job" article.

    Part of the reason for me blogging are the tips instilled within this personal development site. Rock on Steve!

    I don't usually like this sort of stuff, and I hate the EGO of the guy who writes it, but I got some good info here about changing my sleep patterns. It's actually pretty common sense stuff, but seeing it written down makes you facepalm for not realizing the obvious truth earlier.Some of the articles try to apply a single approach to all of humanity, but honestly, take the good and leave the bad. EDIT: After looking through more articles, I realize this guy had people really entranced around 2005. And you can tell- his articles start getting awfully wacky, and people were taking every suggestion-- every litte word he wrote, to heart. It looks like some sort of odd cult, just with a different setup with the same results.Nothing to see here. I'm sure I can find a better 'lifehack' site than this.

    no,no, no, no, no!! Bad Blogger, pretending to have any knowledge of human behaviour. I'm getting sick and tired of these pseudo-scientific 'coaches' selling unfounded new age crap to the 'searching souls'. If you feel you need to gain insight or personal development, get a professional. By professional I mean a trained specialist in human behaviour (e.g., psychologist) with at least a masters degree in a related field. Life's to short to waste your time chasing mindless one-liners like: "Intelligence: Live authentically, and express your genuine creativity". I mean, seriously, think about it. What is intelligence and how can it be achieved. Same goes for authenticity and creativity. These are empty words. Granted, words one can contemplate on for a long time, but it will not get you anywhere. And then there's the utter bullshit this nut job is spreading. While blogging about personal development, he gives you 10 reason you should never get a job. Oh dear god, how I want to smack him over the head with his own book. Want personal development? Start by getting a job, preferable a job a bit above your competence and skill level in a challenging environment. See how that works out. In the mean time, don't read this shite. Just don't.

    Negatory. This site is full of new age hippie bullsh*t. As 0sm0sis said, this stuff is certainly not written for smart people; it's written for people who would like to think of themselves as smart -- I.e., New Agers.
