I think this guy is actually not such a jerk and is acting in earnest. However, in Transactional Analysis jargon, he has an "overactive parent". That is, he thinks it's his responsibility to tell other people how to live and that he knows what is "right" or "best".
There are a lot of people out there who think this is their job, but those who have a highly developed "adult" (again, in transactional analysis lingo, not in the conventional meaning), know that there are many and varied ways to live life and don't feel it necessary to get up at 7:00 am to make videos wagging their fingers at people who aren't really their personal problem.
Dedicated to helping people live healthier, happier lives, Lisa Sargese is a college professor, certified hypnotist and trained qigong therapist.
