This book sucked me in. It had some great ideas I used. I am a mother of four and the book left me feeling a little down. Have you read it? Please share!
 
Never heard of it, but a four-hour work week sounds good to me! 😃
 
I’ve read the book. Most of the “suggestions” are not practical for the vast majority of people. Then there is the whole passing off someone else’s work as your own and defrauding your employer - “outsourcing” your job to someone who will do it cheaper so you don’t have to do it while you present the results as your own and are paid for having done the work.

The part about setting up a website business and using fulfillment centers to do the work is ok, but you need sufficient capital and a good business sense to make that work.

Overall the book did what most of these pop culture get rich quick things do - it made money for the author and a very small subset of the population by exploiting the masses who were willing to pay for the “secret” to a “good life” as defined by popular culture.
