Many excellent critiques of the writer’s narcissistic and arrogant journey of explaining “success”, and yours is the best! Excellent. It is a very negative article. I don’t know how folks can find it inspiring. I found it tediously self-absorbed, anti-social, and toxic. And there are many great religious teachers that would say “No” to this screed, like Jesus and Buddha and, as you mentioned, Ghandi. If Joel Osteen were also an American football player and a fake Tv psychologist like Dr. Phil, he’d say exactly what this author did.

I’ll stick with Thich Nhat Han and St. Francis.
