Very Good Item For The Price - Career Ideas Book Review

By Benjamin Barnes


They'll probably be unhappy whatever they do. Also, I've been running a number of websites for a few years (trying to create financial freedom for myself) and I can tell you it is not easy. The how-to is a bit dubious, particularly as he underplays the risks of having all your financial data in the hands of someone in New Delhi. Having met Ferriss recently, he seems like a bright young man, but the key word is "young." Mr Ferriss commends the assistant on a wise move. Now let me break this down for you.

I'm a mid-level manager at a large non-profit organization. A lot of my job consists of interviewing children and adults for our programs.

Until robots can run the world, the ethical implication is that it is OK for some people to work, just not Mr Ferriss or his readers. Finally, throughout the book Mr Ferris keeps referring to the New Rich.

This book is 80 percent fluff and nonsense with 20 percent information. This is another one of those feel good tell the reader what they want to believe lifestyle books. It may be glamorous work, but it's work nonetheless.

What good is it to write a book and then not tell anyone anything" However, from the recommended unethical tactics to the ultimate goal of leisure and boredom, there is little in this book that is worthwhile. The fact that it made the New York Times best seller list and received a host of endorsements from notables is a sad testimony to our times.

Ferriss recommends that in order to get rich, we pick a topic - any topic - spend a little bit of time researching it so we know a little more than our audience, conduct a free seminar on it, tape the seminar, and distribute it. He's done it himself with speed reading and a few other topics. Ferriss outsources much of his work and personal tasks to India or China. Yes, again; but can there really be niche, low maintenance businesses out there for everyone" I liked Ferriss's "comfort challenges," which are designed to get readers accustomed to facing their fears. Ferriss gives some good advice on quitting a bad job, and he might inspire some to do just that.

I agree you should not live for retirement, but you should save and plan and be prepared for when that day comes. It is great if you love what you do and you can do that and earn money until you die, but with 70 percent of Americans needing long term care before they die, not planning for it is pretty risky. Unfortunately, there's a lot of bad. Can you get away with only working 4 hours a week at your job" Not unless you are a master snake-oil salesperson.
