I think it odd when Tim mentions a person’s spirit..when he is agnostic. For a guy who is so fascinated with learning and obviously is an intelligent fella, he still can’t ‘get it’ when it comes to God.

I cannot vouch for the guy and I do think he brags too much, but I did lose +20 pounds after reading one chapter of the 4H body — and everyone I referred the book to did lose weight. So it might worth checking.

I think it’s Amazon who published it, and yeah, oddly enough, physical bookstores have taken issue with carrying a book that directly benefits their largest competitor.

I understand his book is being given the cold shoulder by those who have an issue with the way the Google publishes. http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/business/technology/booksellers-resisting-amazons-disruption-660737/

Sure, nothing wrong with disagreement (so long as it’s polite and respectful). I like Tim personally and I dig his work. And fortunately, the only thing I need to consider when determining if I should post something to BB or not is if it’s interesting to me.

Posts about Mr. Ferris here seem to draw an interesting variety of angry comments from those who find him rather less than inspiring. See for instance http://boingboing.net/2011/05/17/interview-tim-ferris.html and such amusing links as http://beyondgrowth.net/lifestyle-design/the-4-hour-body-scam-review-works-60-percent-of-the-time-it-works-every-time-tim-timothy-ferriss/ . Most unsavory.
