I have just finished reading the 4 hour work week by Thimothy Ferris. It’s a very popular book so there are good chances that you may have read it. It’s an entertaining read over which I have mixed feelings about. I think it is a great marketing product. I say marketing product because it feels more so than a book. What I mean is that there is little new in the book as the main ideas have been put forth before by various authors. It doesn’t mean that the book is bad or shouldn’t be read as overall I think most people would find it entertaining and of value to them. Thimothy’s exploits and look at me I am so fly way can and will grate a few nerves, it did mine, a little. A typical ferris Tweet (from the twitter application) would read something like: “In Osaka right now, sipping rare ginseng tea while chopping down wood with my bear hands (an old technique I picked up while sky diving in Caracas) to prepare the fire for the chimney in my 5 star lodge” It’s all a show and Ferris knows how to play the game. Like I said very clever marketing product, both the book and the website/blog. But hey, overall I enjoyed it so go read it and find out for yourself!
