You'd think there'd be fewer sacrifices involved, given that he's mostly just writing one book, multiple times. /s

My support is first-hand experience and major disappointment buying and reading his most popular book - Deep Work. It was a borderline insulting read in its lukewarm repackaging of common sense wisdom and other people's original research.
