Agree 100%. He has some good things to say, but its more anecdotes and bits of motivation than specific, actionable advice. Still valuable in its own right though.
I personally get a lot out of Seth's perspective, but I can certainly understand that his posts are not what most HN readers are looking for.
All his posts are "a bit hollow".
He tries to provoke thought, not offer solutions.
There is nothing wrong with that; just a new age philosopher?
OFF Topic: I wish he would have offered a link to the study he mentioned. That would be like someone blogging about him and not offering a link.
