I tried to get through this, despite the piss poor writing ("Let's begin at the beginning...") and the arrogant tone. I skimmed the beginnings of every chapter, and realized that this book could be written in 5 pages. Then I read the part about him cheating to win a kickboxing tournament. That's when I chucked the book aside, and picked up Warren Buffett's biography instead. Talk about contrast. Buffett is insanely talented, works hard AND smart and has incredible depth. Ironically, Ferriss himself recommended the Buffett bio at a talk he did. My prediction? Ferriss is going to do talks to plug his book at smaller and smaller venues, whoring himself out to everything but the local Elk's club, following in the crap footsteps of Andrew Keen's book tour. Then, as he realizes the ship has lost all momentum, he'll admit that this book is just another corner-cutting, outsourced, unoriginal, first-draft, lazy piece of work in a long line of shams that he's pulled.
