Anti-Anti-Hacks [The 4-Hour Workweek Journal]
There are hacks, and there are anti-hacks. Both have their merit. I think this blog has been a mixture of both almost since the beginning.

The 4-Hour Workweek – Fact or Fiction ? (Book Review and Giveaway) [Tech Rest]
Work 4 Hours a week and rest 36. Sound too good to be true? Maybe it is and maybe it isn’t.
Tim Ferriss in The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich, makes a good case that you can do it. Do I think you can? Sure, if you are willing to [...]
