Tim Ferris Book- Four Hour Work Week

A lot of bloggers have been writing about and interviewing Tim Ferris about his new book " The Four Hour Week." Honestly, it sounded like a lot of hype to me, and the Amazon Reviews seemed a little "fishy." His PR firm probably hired some people to write perfect score reviews. This is common and is one of various methods ( including sending out mass cross-promotional emails offering incentives,etc) of "creating" an Amazon "Best-Seller." I suppose the hype machine works in the same way that Soundscan inflation ( and for singles, payola) works for music. Once something becomes a "hit" everyone takes notice. No one wants to be left out, and more people buy it.

Well, I decided to read the book. Someone else sent me a copy. How bad can a free book be? Actually, so far it seems pretty good. I am only about 1/4 of the way through, but a lot of the ideas are things I already think about or have been coming around to recently.

When I am done with this book, I hope to write a review. I am going to try to have it published on a more popular blog that I frequent.

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Nowadays, I feel good, I begin to get real income.
It gets down to select a proper partner who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the income with me.

You may ask, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
