I think many more people can agree that passion/obsession is required; self-destructive behavior can be caused by this obsession. But your post suggest the causal link is the opposite: that sacrificing health and family can lead to success. I think that's misleading, and hope you don't believe it either.

Of course being unhealthy doesn't lead to success. I suppose the title might suggest that but obviously that's artistic license. The message is that obsession is key and often the trade-off is in favor of time with the business and not time where it might be "better" spent. If you're funded, you don't need this advice. If you're not -- and I've done two bootstrapped startups myself -- I'm not sure you can escape it.
