He doesn't. (at least AFAIK) Steve has some excellent articles on time management and I have been following his writing for some time now. Though some of his views are outside of my comfort zone, I have matured enough to not be judgmental across the board just because some of his ideas are "kooky" by my standard. Once in a while I will go back to one of his time management articles and every-time I read them, it perks me up real fast.

Confirmed - the only thing he sells directly is a weekend workshop (http://www.stevepavlina.com/conscious-growth-workshop/ http://www.stevepavlina.com/conscious-growth-workshop/), which I've personally been to and recommend.

I don't mind kookiness. I like kookiness. What I don't like is having that kookiness presented to me as the only way to go. Either 1) the guy's marketing something or 2) he's that much a zealot. Personally I'd imagine that #1 is the more likely, but if you insist it's number 2 then so be it.

  He makes a living from his blog. Of course he is marketing something. He is very proud of it and he mentions it often. He is not hiding it. Is this your first encounter with his blog?

    There's nothing wrong with that. It's just that you should take his advice with a grain of salt. Would you read an article by Intel about why you should upgrade to a faster processor without being skeptical?

The problem with his ideas isn't that they're 'kooky.' The most immediate problem I can see is that he doesn't share your maturity at all. He spends most of this article telling us we're 'morons' and 'stupid' and 'dummies' and so on and so on. He's exceedingly judgmental. That alone is a sign that he's not a person of understanding or perception. It's fine to be open-minded. I sure am. That doesn't prevent this from being an essay that's not only false but openly hostile and derisive in the interest of making the author a buck.
