I said I didn't know who he was until today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36019550 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36019550 As per https://tim.blog/2007/04/29/from-geek-to-freak-how-i-gained-34-lbs-of-muscle-in-4-weeks/ https://tim.blog/2007/04/29/from-geek-to-freak-how-i-gained-... : "You will learn: How to lose 20 pounds in 30 days (without exercise), how to triple your testosterone, techniques for producing 15-minute female orgasms, and more."

As per https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/4pat3x/the_4hour_work_week_bs_or_the_real_deal/ https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/4pat3x/the... : "The title is misunderstood a lot, it's an attention grabber.

Ferriss openly admits to doing x because it gains attention and was continuing to ride the wave, as evidenced by the Google Trends graph, even going so far as to name his next book another "4-Hour" thing for attention. So no, I don't think my statements are bold, and I don't think I'm smug. Frankly, I don't give a fuck who Tim Ferriss is, but I have a problem with telling me I'm something I'm not when you don't know me nor how I feel.
