While his complaint about "stating the problem as the solution" resonates with me, I found this post gained a lot more meaning when I noticed who the author was: Buster Benson, founder of a number of startups with the explicit goal of helping people make beneficial changes to their own behaviour. He's not just whining "this stuff is hard, give us a break" - he's calling for more attention on techniques for doing hard things. This post from the same blog is one of the most positive and insightful "my startup is shutting down" posts I've read: http://wayoftheduck.com/a-duck-bears-no-grudges http://wayoftheduck.com/a-duck-bears-no-grudges > I’m not going to wait until I have a success story to start telling it.
