Yeh. It's ok. Some good new info for me but I don't buy it all. I didn't keep my copy - it's not an eternally relevant book. One thing I really liked was that all the references and bibliography are available online instead of wasting trees. Great and innovative idea.

Excellent work from Tim Ferris. It has definitely awoken my adventurous and entrepreneurial senses! I'll be back once I've completed the tasks set out. Brilliant and thank you Tim!

The book is awesome, don't get me wrong there's a few bits I skipped over that were of no genuine interest to me or completely off scale for my profession. But, certain sections of this book taught me about life, how time is more valuable than money, and happiness is more valuable than both!
