Steve has a lot of great motivational posts, has been a hacker/indie developer himself and seems to be a rational guy for the most part. However, he has those "full of crazy" posts, plus I do wonder whether he really believes his wife's job: http://www.erinpavlina.com/ Anyhow, I am sure he will do alright without Adsense.

I found Steve's site about three or four years ago, I don't read it anymore though but he got me into this personal development. I'm not attending any crazy seminars or spend all of my time on self-help books, but he shifted my thinking to that I can change and control myself and my life general. Which is quite rare here in Europe or in Finland at least.

There are tons of little indie games nobody's ever heard of that's made people rich. I know a guy who made a pretty simple persistent Flash drag racing game (i.e. your car customizations stick around between visits) and pulls in mid-6-figures a year.

Maybe I'm in the wrong field...
