A pop psychologist that has B.A. in political science, a B.A. in psychology, a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at McGill University, one of the most prestigious Universities in the world and then went on to teach at Harvard, another world class University, as an Associate Professor and took part in clinical research. He then gain a full tenured position as a Professor at the University of Toronto, while maintaining a clinical practise. On top of this, he's read most of the greatest writers of philosophy, religion, science and literature ever written.
Yeah......pop psychology.
Instead of attacking him, why don't you try to discuss the topics that interest him. You know, use the intellect that you're supposed to have been born with. Doesn't take much intellectual thought to attack people and call them names. I did that in the school yard when I was 8.

@Stefan S
Another person that completely misrepresents what he is saying. He's saying that when you're young, like university students are, or you're having deep problems, it's crazy to think that you can fix the world right off the bat. You start by fixing yourself, the individual, and that you're not much good to anyone if you're no good to yourself. "Clean your room" is as much a metaphor as it is a practical way to express the idea that you start small and from there you work your way out to help your immediate family and from there you slowly work your way out into the world.
I don't even know what you mean by "deep shit" trouble we're in or how lone wolfism is how we got here. The west is the richest, most successful, society in human history. Extremely low child mortality rates, high life expectancy, best health care, education and economic opportunities in history and it is all predicated on the idea that each individual is allowed the freedom to express themselves as individuals and to set a course for themselves that maximises their talents as humans in a community.
You have the attitude of one that sees negativity in everything. Life is difficult and is for every living creature on the planet and it has always been that way. Most of us, in the west, live a live style unprecedented in history and so many of us have no appreciation on how good we have it.

My grandfather? You act as if you know me. My one grandfather died when I was a year old. He didn't get to teach me a lot. My other grandfather suffered a severe stroke when he was 29 years old. He wasn't found for almost 5 hours and had severe brain trauma from which he never recovered. He spent his entire life in an institution unable to even feed himself. He lived in Europe and although I never met him, he wouldn't have been able to say anything to me, anyway.
So, there goes you theory about me being that moronic that I wouldn't even listen to my grandfather. You're a rather presumptuous jerk, do you know that?
Also, I wasn't talking about a work ethic. I grew up on a farm and I know all about working hard. My dad used to tell me and my brother to be grateful that we were Christian folk because it were up to him, we'd work Sundays, too.
Another example of you being a presumptuous jerk.
Also, when I was young, I did enjoy reading a lot but my dad didn't see much worth to it and quite actively discouraged me from it....and I mean actively. I still read but I didn't do it so people knew that I was deeply involved so I never was able to encounter anyone that could inspire me in the way that others were. I had work to do and I rather enjoyed working anyway. However, I wish I had developed that side of my personality as well. I did when I was in public school but ran into that brick wall called dad and responsibility when I was older.
Another example of you being a presumptuous jerk.
