He seems like such a whiner. In the article he talks about how his dad always told him he had "high potential, low achievement." This whole blog post comes off as sour grapes. Also, how exactly are we supposed to feel bad for him? Poor Rand, he was ousted and now he has to travel the world with his wife going to cushy speaking gigs while doing no real work.

You are not supposed to feel bad for Rand - he went through his depression and now he is OK.

You are supposed to learn from his experience, and Rand's openness gives us that learning opportunity.
