I will work myself ragged to avoid having uncomfortable conversations, only to find that they will still await me at the end of the day. And by that time I'm tired and cranky...

It's really, really hard to become good at everything and to deceive yourself that this is easily accomplished is foolish. However, I should state that you should never stop seeking knowledge.

What struck me from what I've read so far is that it's not for most people. Ferriss is an extraordinary individual. He's exceptionally intelligent, hardworking, and willing to take really big risks. That's not to say it isn't a great how-to book for someone who shares those traits, but it's certainly not for the masses. What also struck me is that he admits this method is not for people who want to do work that they love. Rather, he makes it very clear from the beginning that this is for people who are willing to work their butts off doing stuff they don't much like till they have a system set up so they can take big chunks of time off of work throughout the year to do what they really love. Intriguing concept, and it certainly beats doing something you don't like ten hours hours a day, five days a week like most overworked professionals do nowadays (and I did for about ten years). I guess I just feel lucky that I found something I love to do all the time. But, I'm still loving the life lessons in the book and will definitely finish it.
