I'd dare say being with money but no purpose can be a curse. I have no proof to offer and some heirs and trust fund kids seems to be doing just fine, but I believe part of being human includes finding or having purpose - what you call something enduring. It can be a cause, a religion, a business, children, whatever - something! Maybe we are all different and some people are happy living a purposeless life. To me, what Ferris advocates seems a lot like waiting for death in the best shape possible, to leave a good looking cadaver behind. We are a different crowd here - as others replied, having less free time, they enjoy the hack provided in his book to get better health. Using his advice in this way, picking up interesting tidbits, to fix self-identified issues is one thing. But drinking the koolaid on the 4 hour work week and leaving the purpose to be defined to today's guru is totally different. IMHO, that's very close to the "lifestyle business" quite often promoted here, and it might be a reason why it's so well received. Yet it seems very wrong on so many levels. It's basically settling for a status quo, giving up on life and hope, trying to find some meager contentment in maintaining control over a self built prison-paradise.
