I don't particularly find it controversial, he's advocating mostly mild, deliberately ambiguous stuff, similar to that of any other self-help guru, but he happens to be targeting younger crowd that likes to debate on the internet rather than yell at their TV. For comparison, Dr. Oz was a skilled surgeon, but he chose to make more money selling fad diets or whatever it is that made him famous. So while his surgical abilities are objectively impressive, he is judged by how he presents himself. I'm sure he has some real lectures, just like Dr. Phil actually has a psychology degree. But their public personas are what they're known for now, and they probably don't care that much because it makes them a ton of cash. Edited: Fixed a word.
