 Different way of looking at things August 11, 2008
Tim's book was recommended by a friend. He has a real unique way of looking at the world and the world of work. As a financial advisor, I find his tips and suggestions helpful when counseling pre-retirees and retirees.

I'm from Brazil and I received the book before the estimated delivery date.
I'm still reading the book but I already have a nice impression of it.
Thanks

For those who dare... August 9, 2008
Wow. Over 700 reviews. What more could I possibly add? Well, I'll be honest. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I actually feel that a lot of the techniques (for stamping out needless time-wasters, removing yourself as an information bottleneck, etc.) are quite easy to put into practice. Now for the more daring suggestions, such as proposing to your boss that you work off-site, I simply feel that those are things that can be considered part of the process.
I've read reviews from people who believe that much of the book is unrealistic, but in my experience so far (and I've had the book for a year) a lot of it really is doable. I just think much of it has to do with timing- knowing when to jump and when to pull the cord. Not everyone has it in them to make the kind of big changes that would save them from being wage slaves. This book truly is for those who dare. If you already have it in you to do things a different way and you're open to taking an off-ramp, you can absolutely take an off-ramp to a life that is less of a traffic jam.
A game changer for certain people August 7, 2008

I LOVED this book and I can't stop talking about it. It's a fantastic guide for breaking free of the corporate treadmill and making better use of your life. This book is my new bible.
That said, I realize that I am squarely in the target demographic for the message of this book. Many of the principles in the book would be nearly impossible to implement if you're a blue collar worker. This is a game changer for white collar, internet-savvy folks but will fall somewhere between mildly interesting and totally useless to people outside that demo.
 Started off good... August 6, 2008

It started off good but it seems that he "outsourced" his own book about halfway through. What I really want to know is how did he get so rich selling brain "vitamins?"
