How I use the Internet in a healthy way

How is any of this conjecture valuable? Since when is life-advice of any kind "for everyone"?

You're right, it doesn't have to apply to everyone, but some acknowledgement by the OP that his story is but one sliver of experience would be a good idea. After all, he's selling a book and an app/extension.

What’s the utility of life advice that’s meant for a general audience, but can only be utilized by a specific niche?

We’re all trying, mate. Sometimes one of us writes down their experience to see if it can help anyone else. I am not sure if there is any advice that is truly “for everyone”.

It either works for you or it doesn’t. If it does - great. If it doesn’t - I hope you find something that does.

The only way we’ll know is if we share our experiences. I don’t see any value in critique here.

This should be pinned to the top of every forum thread in the internet. Well said.

Sure. It’s also a good way to filter out advice that’s less applicable to a larger audience. Perhaps it’s aspirational advice of sorts for those who can attain the material conditions of the one bestowing it.
