Timothy Farris was lucky enough to start a business that doesn't force him into being on-site every day. He sells nutritional supplements, but spends his time in strange countries living "like a king" for the price of rent in the US. The book has a little information on marketing and outsourcing everything you'd possibly imagine. Overall, more of a platform for Farris to brag about himself.

Hah, ya, I am a slow reader and get sidetracked easily. I found the content rather masturbatory as well, and haven't finished it yet. Have any better books in a similar vein to suggest Mr. Cash?

I read Outliers by M. Gladwell last week for class, it wasn't bad...the first half is pretty decent. The only thing I got out of the second half is why Asians are better at math than we are (and it was kinda vague). Otherwise I'd say the second half is misguided.
I downloaded a PDF of Blink by M. Gladwell and it's pretty interesting so far (only on chapter 1). You can get the PDF on PirateBay, comes with The Tipping Point. Personally I refuse to read every book by the author as overlapping can be an issue...but its a package deal.
Others that I'm hoping to pickup soon: This Time Is Different (Reinhart & Rogoff), Pour Your Heart Into It (Schultz, CEO of SBUX), Good To Great (Collins)

Love all of his books. I can't believe anyone sanctioned the writing of this: http://www.penguin.co.uk/nf/Book/BookDi ... 48,00.html

You looking for classic works (like Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Nietzsche, etc.) or you looking for a more modern book that's just mind blowing, something that will get you thinking?Catarax wrote:does anyone have any good philosophy recommendations?
