An interesting take that appeals to my personal perspective of these things. All too often people get a holier-than-thou attitude when it comes to certain behavioural patterns. Just like TFA, I do not discount the value of certain techniques (meditation, skipping breakfast, etc.) but this is certainly not the biggest factor accounting for success or failure.

In fact, I see this a little bit like a 'prosperity gospel' thing: the naive belief that if you hustle in the right way while doing the right things, everything will turn out all right. If it does not, it just shows your lack of belief.

While a lack of belief or faith in one's abilities _can_ be problematic, faith is also not _the_ determining factor in things. Sheer luck plays a bigger role than most people think.
