Show HN: How To Become Obsessed and Achieve Greatness at Anything

  • IMHO there is already too much acceptance of obsessive thinking and addictive habits in Silicon Valley culture (and in American society as a whole).

    Although not all obsession or addiction is bad, anything that encourages or pulls a signficant fraction of the population (of Silicon Valley or America) even more in that direction is.

    I wish I knew of a well-written book or article explaining how addiction damages communities, but I do not, so here is a badly-written book: Bruce K. Alexander's Globalization of Addiction.

  • Sorry but this looks very much like the typical info ware: Someone believes (hopefully) he has the worlds' most valuable information and writing skills, but can't be bothered to write a monetized blog or get a real publishing deal...

    Of course, whenever some of these ultra-secret material leaks it turns out to be not much better than an average blog post, but for the price of a couple of scientific text-books.

  • I'm getting ready to launch Indoctrinator (a program that uses obsession to achieve mastery at anything, even something you used to hate).

    I'm happy to answer any questions.
