Tim Ferris is a perfect example of why every message should be judged on its own merits, regardless of speaker.
For what I've seen of him (and that's very little), I don't imagine we'd be best friends, but his book is straightforward and preaches a message that many people are looking to hear. HN preaches the same message, yet offers different methods.
Nothing really wrong with that.
- jamesbritt 18y agoWhen a friend first told me about Ferriss and his book, I was quite skeptical. I got the book from the library (or my friend lent it to me), and ended up buying it. Sure, some stuff is questionable, but there were enough interesting, practical ideas to make it worthwhile. Ferriss is trying to make some points and sell a product, and he seems to be good at it, and his points are worth some consideration even if you don't always care for how he presents them. Hate him? Steal the better ideas and ignore what you don't like.
