I don't agree with JP on everything, but these are some of the things that resonated with me.
Zues126,
My first exposure to JP was his lectures that were posted to YouTube. Watching those videos, it became very clear the JP put a lot of time and effort into thinking about the human condition and his clinical practice gave him plenty of exposure to the vagaries of human existence.
Like you, I don't agree with JP on everything, but I know his intentions are good and I know he's a deep thinker. I don't consider myself to be a JP follower or disciple, and I certainly don't want to hump his leg. But, I've often noticed that if I mention JP, I'm almost immediately tagged as one of those "JP guys." For some reason, whatever it is at the core JP's message, its seems to be very polarizing. I suspect, and it's just a guess, that for many people, the idea of personal responsibility isn't the message they want to hear.
I also like Sam Harris, April Wilkerson, Richard Dawkins, Sean Carroll and Joe Rogan (I'd hump his leg). But, none of them seem to garner the automatic "you're one of those" reflex that occurs when you mention JP.
