Just wondering if the 4 hour work week is actually a good book, I read like the first chapter, I was very disappointed, no in content and very wordy. Does it get better?
- hugh3 16y agoLike the blog, the book is more about bragging than giving useful advice. All you have to do, he says, is start a zillion-dollar-a-year business which can run without any actual effort on your part. And then you can spend all your time doing other stuff. The rest of the book is a list of other stuff he's done and musings on whether it's better to bum around Berlin or Buenos Aires. There, I just saved you fifteen bucks.
- nhangen 16y agohahaha, you're spot on. It's a good read for motivation and inspirational purposes, but it won't teach you any mad scientist tricks. I don't think I know a single person that's more self-promotional than Tim. I'm not sure whether to congratulate or hate him for it.
- yesno 16y agoIt's relative. It depends on your POV. To some people, Hacker News is like that book. To others, HN is like a bible.
