It's self help advice. He's selling a book. It's as useful as any other self help advice, which is marginally for the people who need to hear it. It's not a completely nuanced perspective, and may smuggle in some negative beliefs about our society, but I wouldn't say it's malicious either. Unless you consider the whole self help industry malicious, which is not totally unfair.

Tbh everything about it is good advice.

But he just has to sprinkle in "The younger generation is too soft!" bullshit and old guys who spout it always annoy me. The guy has been rich and successful for nearly half a century. He doesn't know what the younger generation is dealing with. He knows his bubble of fame and success along with interacting with a bunch of adoring normal people who look up to him.

There's plenty of pain and hardship that people are overcoming out there and it's not a bad thing to try and help those people.
