I love all these books except the four hour work week. I do not believe Tim understand what it takes for a person in low income class to be successful.

In defense of self-help books; you latch to the one that finds you.

The 4-hour workweek provided me a useful foil to Gladwell’s “10,000” hours. It might take 10k to master, but you sure as hell can move fast if you get to 80% in 10 hours.

Great article in Forbes about 4 - hour work week. https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelschein/2019/01/17/tim-fe...
Selling a well-packaged promise for easy riches has proven to be a successful strategy over and over again.
