>Philips goLite at his body in place of ingesting caffeine So, he advocates using sunlight instead of drugs (such as caffeine). Why does that deserves a scorn

  I was confused at this too. The fact that a major manufacturer like Phillips is releasing a line of medical products around this very use case should tell the author that it's not ridiculous. Outside social norms, maybe, but the whole point of the book is that Ferriss is trying things that are unconventional and seeing what works. I got one of these lights as a gift, and it's been great. I was a bit skeptical/curious as to whether it was just placebo, but it turns out there's evidence that blue light helps the body schedule melatonin release.

  Because they are completely unrelated and work though entirely different mechanisms. I'd use an "apples and oranges" analogy but apples and oranges are more similar than sunlight and caffeine.
