How deep does this "FAKE GURU" market actually go?

[MitchC]

This is a sign of bad writing, not high intelligence. I tried reading his 12 rules and gave up, tired of his unreadable writing style and constant rambling about unrelated things.

As an author I'm very curious why his book is so popular despite being so bad. Perhaps it's purely because of his persona, in the same way that books "written" by celebrities become bestsellers no matter how bad they are. I always find it sad that some really good books don't get discovered just because their authors aren't willing to pimp themselves everywhere. But well, that's how marketing largely works today.

I’m listening to it so it’s not as bad as reading but I agree. At the start of it he mentions how long and how many people edited it and all I could think was wow how was this entire random tangent not edited out. However the content was much deeper than just reading a summary of the chapter titles like “stand up straight”.
