> Here is what you gain with your most improbable life: The authentic you

On the contrary, this is profoundly bullshit.

Firstly, anyone arriving at a "life's goal" via what a blogger says should be their life's goal is not being "authentically them".

Secondly, why does a broader, less likely mix of talents and experiences make you more "you"? It doesn't. Just because you've become more unique does not make you more "you-ish".

We're all influenced by our past experiences, the books we've read, the movies we've watched, the people in our lives, and yes, blog posts and essays as well. Our past is part of what makes us us. I don't know how you can claim that being influenced by a blogger is any less authentic than being influenced by anything else.

> why does a broader, less likely mix of talents and experiences make you more "you"?

Because it's highly improbable that any one person's natural mix of talents and experiences would be narrow and similar to everyone else's.

		What you're saying is contradictory. On one hand, you say that "you are your experiences therefore you're youness is absolute even if you're living out the instructions of a blogger" And then on the next hand you seem to imply that being less similar to others makes you more you, which besides being without basis, contradicts the banal "you're you therefore you're you" of your first point. You can't have it both ways.
