(2007-11-13) Williams On Ferriss

AlexWilliams on Timothy Ferriss and his popularity with Silicon Valley types like Marc Andreessen, Jason Hoffman, and Ryan Carson. Indeed, Mr. Ferriss makes little pretense of practicing what he preaches, at least if you count self-promotion as "work."... "If your definition of work is something primarily financially driven that you would like to do less of, like with my company, I spend far less than four hours a week on it," he said. All that other stuff - lecturing at the corporate campuses of Google and PayPal, blogging incessantly on his http://www.fourhourworkweek.com - that's, well, "evangelizing," he said.
