i watched a talk of his once and he didnt seem next level or special in any way
however he's 100% right about the role age plays in academic performance, holding back your kid so they can be with people younger than them does give them a big boost

He's a legit hack
One if his books made me sperg out on a date... this girl recommended it to me. I read it before our next date and she brought it up again and I had to tell her it was shit.

I've never read any of his books but according to hearsay, he's a hack, so that.
he is okay but not altogether hackless, after all you only need to look at his publishing history to see that the dudes milking it
talentless hack in literature. Pretty good at making music.
