A review by rickwren
The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss
1.0
Give me a break. Get something for nothing. Run around the world as a jet setter while living on the largess of your clever work avoidance strategies . . .
TANSTAFL . . . my first day of econ 101. The more you try to "get over," the more you're going to be crushed when it all goes wrong. This is a book about surfing on the edge of catastrophe. This book is about avoiding work, and that's not me.
Maybe it's you.
Maybe you're a wanna-be con man. Maybe you're a leach on society. Maybe you're a banker or a corporate exec with a bullshit job. Maybe you suck value out of the lives of others. But I don't. And I won't. I believe you can make yourself better with other people, not in spite of them. I believe in community and family and hard work and reward.
blech.
