5.0

A collection of excerpts from Tim's podcast interviews, stapled together in no particular order (though there are various well-sorted indices to aid in skimming). It’s not surprising, then, that the book reads like a very good day spent on the Internet. I took four pages of notes, implemented three or four changes in my life, and was generally more productive for a few weeks after reading. That’s about as much as anyone can reasonably expect from a book like this, and Ferriss, as always, delivers. He’s very much a bro, and very much a salesman, but he represents the best characteristics of both demographics.

(Many negative reviews call the book “too long”, but it’s also easy to skim. Don’t begrudge the pages where you learn nothing; relish the pages where you learn something.)
