QED: Tim Ferris is full of crap
This post from Penelope Trunk is so awesome you all should go and read it. Penelope deconstructs Tim Ferris‘ “i am so cool, i work only 4 hours and am famous and rich and fit” image, plus gives some good time-management tips.
It's childish. It's a childish, semantic game. And it reminds me of him winning the Chinese National Kickboxing Championships by leveraging a little-known rule that people are disqualified if they stop outside the box. So he pushed each of his opponents outside the box to win.
He is winning the I-work-less-than-you game with a similarly questionable method: semantics.

I've read Tim's book and see how the application the principles can actually free up the time for the relationships that Penelope is talking about. Would I sacrifice time with friends and extra-curricular activities in the name of embarking on adventures with my immediate family to distant lands?
Absolutely.
