>What is fascinating is how his detractors are annoyed with how simple, old advice can ring true but are missing that no one with such digital reach is saying these "12 Rules for Life" out loud any more. Great point. I've heard many of his critics in passing criticize the "shallowness" of his advice of focusing on the self before going outward. They will then embrace highly complex (mostly political) theoretical non-advice simply because it embraces the individual spending time solving everyone else's problems. Already an easily identifiable red flag from these types. I think JPs fans unfortunately have through him been introduced to fringe characters that have advice only applicable to a small percentage of men and is far less simple and practical though, but which is a shame
