I just listened to Tim Ferris from SXSW (MP#-> http://audio.sxsw.com/podcast/interactive/panel/2007/SXSW07.INT.20070312.TheFourHourWorkweek.mp3) where he goes into detail about the whole idea. Pretty good investment of an hour during my commute.

To me, Ferris’s strategy doesn’t sound much different than the classic pyramid scheme. Reminds me of Amway or the super-blue-green algae folks: basically you just get a ton of people working for you and you sit back and watch the money roll in. In theory, anyway.

Tim Ferris IS everywhere. I first read about him a couple days ago on a bodybuilding forum ( where I first heard of John Stone as well) with a link to a post about his version of the “Colorado Experiment.” Then I noticed his book and the past couple of days see it mentioned everywhere.

I would say that his Amazon Ratings look a little suspicious. I saw the book had a perfect rating from a couple dozen people and looking more closely it seems to be accounts madeup specificially for posting feedback on his book and/or posted by friends/family/PR people,etc.

Seem a little high on HYPE to me, but I would be interested in reading it. Not sure if i would pay the 12 bucks for it or not.

I’ll be digesting that Tim Ferriss interview and also picking up his book this weekend.
It hits me at the exact perfect moment in my life. I think I even wet myself a little bit. Great find JD!

Borders has been bugging me to spend my bonus, so I’ll pick it up for about $4. Sweet!
