Also, what do you guys think of Robert Greene's "The Art of Seduction" or "48 Laws of Power"? Some of the advice goes directly against what people like Pavlina or Covey would say.
Robert Greene doesn't write advice. He writes about the problem of knowledge, how things work.

In constrast Pavlina and Covey write about the problem of conduct, how people should act. (Sure a bit of Pavlinas writing is also about knowledge)

For that reason someone like Pavlina can recommend Robert Greene, without being inconsistent.
