Pretty good investment of an hour during my commute.

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.

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. Tim Ferris IS everywhere.

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!
