Maybe some good content here, but jesus, does it have to come off as an infomercial?
Although I thought 40 hour work week had some neat ideas in it, my biggest complaint is the army of Tim Ferris clones it has created. I am so tired of the posturing, the "I will flaunt my (real?) success to create success" and other random personality hacks.
I know nothing of the author of this post, but the tone and writing style just makes him sound like he should be screaming the blog post to me, telling me how it is a limited offer.
No offense to you Mr Successful author, this was just the straw that broke my back.
Please.. stop.. the.. madness..

- scotch_drinker 16y agoMy thoughts were similar, the content was interesting but the Jeff Atwood writing style had claimed another victim. As a writer, I strive to have my words and ideas express themselves without the constant use of italics, bold and exclamation points. I understand it's a choice (and God knows, it's made Jeff Atwood famous) but there's only so many important things to say in an essay and chances are they don't need to be bolded as badly as one might think.
