I almost feel like we didn't read the same article. I felt like the author spoke very simply. He just didn't have a clear point he was trying to express, which I believe is valid criticism. Given that his book is plugged in the first line, I figure this article is intended simply to advertise more copies of his book. While it does have interesting nuggets of knowledge, such as the initially unimpressive teenager having the most engaging questions, it is competing with many more compelling reads.
