It definitely shows that this book was written over ten years ago. However, the basic principles are still quite useful although how much so will most likely differ a lot between people.

Mostly outdated but at least it’s a legit how-to book. Not really something to be read as much as a blue print to be followed.

Could probably follow his own principles and make a quick million if he updated for today’s tech but if you listen to his podcast he has no plans to do this. Something about keeping it true to its original.

It’s 2018. Tech has come a long way. There’s a video seminar out there somewhere teaching the same stuff for $20 and all the info is current.

If only Tim Ferriss could social media. If only.

An interesting read. Full of good ideas for anyone looking to eliminate annoying busywork from their jobs. A lot of it isn't specifically applicable for most people, but it'll get you thinking in the right direction of how to work more efficiently.

There’s some really useful stuff here. But principles and suggestions that aren’t exactly universal. Regardless, I learned a lot of things and will implement some of them. But my life isn’t changed by this though I might revisit it at other points in my life.

I would recommend reading the actual book over listening to the audiobook like I did, because there are SO many links the narrator reads out that you can just skip over if you're reading it and come back to if/when you need that specific link. That being said, there's a decent amount of useful information here - more or less, depending on how you want to live your life/what kind of lifestyle you want. It's very business-focused, but you take the concepts/strategies you want and apply them to your life. I listened to the updated version, so that was beneficial as it wasn't as outdated as I had expected, but you can tell it wasn't written recently.

Typically I do not enjoy books like this but I decided to read because this is a lifestyle I strive for. By the end, I knew this was a book I needed to purchase. There are principles that I plan on re-reading and trying to implement this year. Awesome read
