I think that's healthy wariness. The article seems overall well thought out, but OCD is an extremely common blindspot today, so I don't think it spoils the rest of the advice (which is largely good and spot-on).

Even my primary care doctor, when I told him I'd been diagnosed with OCD causing many disparate kinds of anxiety and depression, said something about "well you want your accountant to have a little OCD for example." I was a little stunned!

I agree, there is some good advice in there. However, this makes the OCD remark stand out even more for me. Bit like a doctor recommending homeopathy or starts talking about flat earth stuff. Getting such a basic thing so wrong, taints everything else.

See, "the good advice" is knowledge I can recognize as such, therefore information I already have. You need a basis of trust accepting any new information. A flat-earther may get Newtonian physics right, but I won't go there to learn about it.

I don't think the OCD section adds much anyway, so I think the article would be greatly improved by removing it.
