if you dislike it, flag the article.
i for one found it interesting that he shifted from thinking the product was the part worth selling to thinking the process was the part worth selling. this could be something many HN'ers could benefit from.
take your negativity somewhere else.

It's not negativity per se, it's that Tim Ferriss' whole schtick is phony. http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2009/01/08/5-time-management-t...

I didn't like him at the beginning too.
But with time passing I began to admire him not because of his entrepreneurship skills but because of his exceptional personal branding

that'd be a fine critique if this article had a hint of schtick!

Don't worry about flagging it, it's getting rapidly buried now. Colour me unsurprised.

I've seen that post linked a few times. I think it misses the point of Ferriss' book. "Idleness is not the goal, doing what you want is". Ferriss optimized his business such that all the shitty things he didn't like doing, which was most, if not all things, could be finished in 4 hours a week. Getting his book sold was something else entirely.

Sorry, I thought she scored a direct hit.
