Just another guy selling hopes and dreams to people who won't achieve them. I'm all for "lifestyle design" and think that it's not unreasonable that some people will be able to willingly create a lifestyle that allows for lots of free time, traveling or other desirable things.

However, the idea that just anyone is going to be able to sell shitty diet supplements online and work four hours a week while banking tens of thousands of bucks a month is highly improbable. Also, anyone want to bet that Tim Ferris is a workaholic who just classifies 95% of his business as stuff he enjoys so much it isn't work?
