That’s such a weird take. It’s like saying that I know more about repairing my car than the mechanic because I drive it every day. That the executives of Samsung run the company doesn’t mean that they are experts in how the brains of their employees work.

And while it’s not inaccurate to call Newport a self help author, he has studied, thought, and written about the subject for many years.
