Jesus Christ. Can't a guy do anything without a corresponding pseudoscientific (actually, wholly arbitrary) blog post about "$anything considered harmful"?
The thread through all these stories is an author's dissatisfaction with their own life. "I found myself reading/working/eating too much. And I didn't like it. So Everyone Else in the world ought to stop reading/working/eating so much." Next week it'll be about how too much focus on creation makes one a narcissist. Or something. There's always something you can point to for making your life bland and unfulfilling. If you find yourself stuck in that loop, consider meditation instead of heroically "creating" a pile of unsubstantiated pontificating.
Meditating would be a very beneficial activity, but the over-active analytical mind would put it down as 'one of those things that would make me better' and never actually get around to doing it.
