I very much agree with Seeker here. Steve clearly said his goal is to help the 1-2% smart people who will make a difference in the World. I strongly believe that these 1-2% already are or would become interested in polarity and would read the book. If the book helps them polarize and apply polarization in their lives more consistently, then they (thus, Steve's book) will have a huge impact in the long run. It's more long term and more indirect impact, but it is impact.

I don't agree with you. I think it would be an excellent use of your time to write a book that would help the 1-2% smart people make a difference in the World. Is it personal development for smart people, or personal development for the masses?

I can understand your concern about the publisher (maybe an eBook instead of a book is a good idea), but I don't understand why your goal suddenly seems to shift to be read by as many people as possible. Helping those who will help others may be a way to delegate.

I'd be better off skipping the book and devoting more attention to blogging, speaking, and other media.

You said polarity is something you'd need a book for. Can it be addressed through blogging, speaking or other media?

Writing a book is a lot of work, so if I'm going to make the effort, I want the end result to be impactful.

I understand this. The question is how you define impactful. I don't think measuring impact by the number of sold books is a good idea.

As I see it, the question is: is it more important to create more (or more efficiently polarized) lightworkers, or to help the average person get more productive and manage their time better?
