If my son wrote this, I would be ashamed, Déc 5 2008
The author seems like a great guy to have a beer with. But, there is no meat and nothing new in this hard cover pamphlet. The tips are general and based on assumptions that we all want to take the easy way out and desire no real sense of accomplishment. Some of us derive great pleasure and value from what we produce or create. Finding a way to manipulate others to do your bidding, what is so new about that? Somehow, the moral compass here seems to reflect a new generation of gimme gimme now. My eldest son is 24 and this book I am hiding from him - I don't need for him to actually read a book legitimizing an already established attitude of "hey, why do I have to go to school and learn for years then work hard to achieve results? Why shouldn't I argue every time I get a bad mark so the teacher gives me a good mark to avoid me, and not because I actually earned it?" (Yes, that's what our Ferriss claims to have done in University, and I don't need my kid learning that trick.)
This book is all about manipulation - manipulation for the 21st century. What is so different about a drug dealer from Ferriss? The drug dealer sells something that is overpriced because he can, and there is a market for a quick fix which he manipulates by temporarily filling a fleeting need. I think that there are a few good things about the book too, but nothing new - I have been using these methods for years such as, um, oh yes, prioritizing. Listen, if you are stuck in a rut at work and hate what you are doing, if you are unhappy, this may be a quick "shot in the arm", and borrow it from a friend, but the high won't last unless you are completely lacking in integrity or work ethic.
It strikes me that this book is probaby just another of his schemes to get there quick on a minimal amount of effort. While he could've chosen to elaborate and support his points, he just throws them in the air as an afterthought, like Peggy's musings. The print is large, the book is small, and it is half filled with quotes to take up space. This is not much of a book at all, so once again, our friend Ferriss fleeces us - this is exactly what Ferriss is telling us he does regularly! I can see Ferriss lying on the beach, suddenly yelling "eureka! Another idea for easy money! And I will spend 20% of my effort on it to grab 80% of the market and I will charge the most I possible can!" And the content of this book looks just like that.
Yes, Ferris, you proved your point. Hope IS cheap, and easily manipulated. I am very glad that I had the foresight to raise an eyebrow about it and take it out of the library first to determine whether it was worth my money - so I guess I am one of the 20% that you would "fire", and I will instead spend my money elsewhere. I will also be very wary of anything else you are attached to now - after all, really, after reading how you "win", how could I ever trust you? That said, I can't wait to hear about your next trick to get what you want. My only question is this: are your parents proud of you?
