Crazy. I really would prefer working 4 hours max each day. Or achieving the 4-hour workweek. That and work from home at first, then everywhere. :)
I think its just differences in lifestyle. I love working super long days. I just don't like it when life tries to get in the way of work.
What use is he if he gets burned out in a year or two? Not much I would wager. Sure one might argue that this pattern of long working hours is crucial in the first few years of a company.

If you want a lifestyle business that provides for you and your next of kin, more power to you. And if that's the route you take, please stop trying to convenience everyone your path to enlightenment is the right way. For awhile, I found that whole movement to be quasi-religi…
IIRC Ferriss arrived at his "four hour" week exactly by not counting work-related activities he enjoyed, as work.

Wonder what the bankers would say to that...
Many can, of course, handle such working conditions but it can hardly be considered healthy in the long run.
