I can't believe how many people are bashing this book without actually reading the book.
The book's title is to catch attention and summarize a goal that uses a lot of little cool "life hacks" that Tim has invented.
His book is not so much being lazy or avoiding responsibilities. I got out of it 2 major learning points:
1. How to use your time wisely, either by streamlining human interaction or outsourcing menial jobs.
and
2. How to execute on a product business using new web tools and hacks that even I, a veteran web entrepreneur, had very little exposure or knowledge of.
Obviously either of those titles would be extremely boring and not sell well, so Tim had to do what he had to do to sell his book. But there is a lot of good stuff, probably one of my top 5 books of all time.
