Tim is becoming more like the Robert Kiyosaki of the startup/techie crowd, rather than a store of knowledge about strange and obscure ways scoured from unconventional or overlooked sources like in the early days of the four hour work week His early audience was attracted to his deep research into geeky things and hacking his way into things, but that has been heavily watered down as he expanded into writing multiple books [1], a mailing list, a TV series, a podcast, ... the list goes on. Although given his growing audience I wouldn't blame him for this. Another criticism is that Tim is by far not a primary or even secondary source for any of the things talks about religiously. He often touts books that fail to cite sources themselves, which just snowballs into misinformation. And this isn't about highly opinionated issues, it's usually about well studied regiments like weight lifting, nootropics, sleep, and memory. Why keep relying on Tim if I can go to bodybuilding.com, longecity, or bluelight and read cited reports firsthand? [1] There was also added controversy to his character with speculation that Tim heavily relied on ghost writers, and even "hacked" his way to Best-Sellers lists [2] [2] http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887323864304578316143623600544 http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014241278873238643045783161...
