he looks great, where’d he pick up all that swag, penneys? maybe he rose above his station and got it in a primark.
How much are you being paid for all the editorial Broadsheet?
Maybe he is just their mate?
But he has no hair…… why would we listen to a bald man?
Yaaas!!
Who is this muppet?
Harbison is our Kardashians. Talentless, attention seeking eejit but somehow we can’t stop watching. How long before the inevitable leak of a sex tape?
more accomplished than you chief. why all the hate, is it just cos he’s irritating?
to be fair to him, he has some get up and go, makes things happen for himself, fair play to him I say.
doesn’t mean I want to be mates with him
nice try harbo.
You mistake criticism for hate. They are different things.
I know little about this guy, but it’s crazy how people only ever seem to have bad things to say about anyone who seems to be doing well for themselves. Good on him. Everyone else, get over it. Focus on doing well for yourself, and not bringing others down.
Controversial.
It’s what he has said about others in his hate filled diatribes that upsets people. I don’t begrudge people’s success – I don’t even hate Bono which is pretty much a requirement for commenting on this site.
What hate filled diatribes?
get over it, he was right too, shower of proles jumping off buildings into rat infested pond are well grim.
You need to learn the difference between disdain and hate.
Or maybe just lay off the superlatives.
you see people making funny jokes, and because you don’t have anything funny to say you attack them with a hate filled diatribe, and some self help muck. focus on making funny jokes yourself.
In fairness, nobody is bringing him down.
They are just moaning on a web site.
Well said Happy Molloy – Guys get over yourselves!! FFS!
Positive thoughts & less bitching like little bitches!
Who is he?
Someone who likes to call folk knackers.
Controversial author, controversial self help book, controversial American book tour.
jaysis you’d think he’s running the site the amount of posts he’s getting wHa?!
Why do people think this guy is successful? Apart from selling Simply Zesty, I am failing to see what he has actually done that would make me want to buy his ‘motivational’ book?
Lovin Dublin appears to have loads of staff, but no real revenue stream beyond a few lunch boxes sold. They claim to sell no space to advertisers so there’s no cash there either? The content is awfully written and edited so from a user/reader perspective I don’t think its highly rated.
It seems to me this guy got lucky, made some money, and is now sinking it into becoming some type of public personality – adding no real value anywhere.
People aren’t ‘hating’, they’re just smart enough to realise that this lad isn’t smart at all, but rather the biggest spoofer in the land.

Well Said Clodagh. Selling a company to be absorbed by the competition is not the mark of success or luck.
Isn’t the title ‘Getting Shit. Done.’
Hardly a revelation, but if he must write a book about it…
hahaha
His superpower is directing traffic to Broadsheet.
What stratagems of knowledge contained within: Don’t get married till 40! Men and Women are biologically different! Rent out your house and work from thailand! Bonkers stuff!
I’m starting to understand his fondness for hats now.
people hate this nerd cos he’s is not sitting on his hole or in a union or both and he calls north inner city dwellers knackers, big deal. who doesn’t.
Good luck with the junior cert results.
My father is from the north inner city. I’ll ask him if it’s a big deal.
K**b. Half of what he was saying in that interview is pure s***e.
I am in no way informed by anything he said there.
Jesus lads, you’re obsessed with this g!mp…
I thought his book was about helping people with constipation no?
Boom, boom.
Poor aim. You should have gotten him with the first shot.
gotten, gotten, gotten… come here so I can beat you senseless.
Me fail English? That’s unpossible!
I think he suffers from that common malaise many successful entrepreneurs have, in that they possesses a unique recipe to success. In fact, success is mostly a matter of chance.
I’m sure he leveraged his intelligence and a strong work ethic to really bring success as far as he could with the opportunities that came his way, not everybody could capitalise on such opportunities. But mostly, it’s being in the right place at the right time.
This reminds me of the nice newsreader lady from the North. I kinda miss her…
‘Controversial’ articles aside, this mans writing is painfully bad. DIY piercing ones own genitals would be a more pleasant experience than reading an entire book by him.
who is this lollygagger?
A mountebank and no mistake, sirrah!
just one of your chair moisteners from sector 7G, sir.
such a weird lookin head
He reminds me of the yellow lad in Sin City for some reason.
They made him take off his w****r hat. Sickener.
Fair play Harbo!
Not much point in clickbaiting if you’re not managing to sell advertising on anything like a regular basis.
This is New York calling. Harbo here. Yes the real Harbo. Comments here make my day. Also do. Let me address some of them given their rational nature..
1.I can confirm that yes indeed I am bald.
2.I’m sure there are many better written books. I gave it my best shot. Some people seem to like it. Have a sample here https://twitter.com/search?f=realtime&q=%40niallharbison%20book&src=typd . You probably don’t so just don’t buy it. I don’t like Pitbulls music so I don’t buy that
3.You guys could do way better on hate filled comments. Sometimes people send me screen grabs from the app “Secret” about me. They really have it down to a fine art over there. I’d suggest you download it and get some inspiration from there.
4.I’d be pretty bullish on Lovin Dublin and my other business Picstash. I’ve had a failed business before and one “success”. The odds on start ups being a success are pretty thin. Especially media ones. It won’t be easy but I won’t sleep until those missions are both fulfilled. Tough but I’ll do it
5.The only logical next step I can see for my heinous crimes of writing a book and sharing interesting stuff is that I am placed into a public place and battered with rotten fruit. MAybe somebody set it up in Dublin for next week when I’m back and Broadsheet can be the media partner.
Happy Friday fellow web friends :)
Harbo
I’ve problem with you calling people knackers Niall. You ain’t no web friend of mine.
It’s great that in a country like this you have the right to assert your opinion of Niall’s opinion
That is the definition of freedom
Now fupp off yourself with your ‘problem’ – Niall doesn’t give a fupp about it
Fair play Niall and don’t mind them, they are not even worth talking about, sad jealous losers the lot of them;)
I for one will help you throw back some rotten tomatoes.
Get yourself a wetsuit Nial and jump in the Liffey with deh local lads… all will be forgotten… ok, most will be….
G’wan, g’wan, g’wan….. better than throwin’ fruit around anyways.
What about the flesh eating disease?
Also can I wear my cap or not? Thats the big deciding factor :)
Do you have ibola now?
Where do you find hats to fit that head of yours?Do you get them specially made?
Now you’re just being obnoxious.
I wish you all the success in the world Niall. really like LovinDublin and the negativity is a bit unhinged…. but c’mon pal, moving to another country to do a few weeks work and rent out the house and make a bit of money thru arbitrage as a life hack??? How is that advice to 99% of the population? As a great man once said “Ah here, leave it ou’ “
You say on your blog Niall that the book is ‘Number 1 best seller in Ireland’. I’ve seen it at Number 9 in Hodges Figgis and Number 13 in Dubray. Where and when was it Number 1?
He has since altered it to read “No 1 Bestseller”. Vague that, not as easy to pin down.
Haha love all he comments! backlash against the backlashers harbo’s alright leave him alone if i see him in stoneybatter i’ll set me jack russell on him
This dude is a talking brussels sprout.
