I dig Tim Ferriss' approach to life. He's over-selling a lot of self-help stuff, but who cares?
Take this short essay for a second, that's just great stuff for any guy thinking of some side income.

Anyway, even if I use 10% of his insights I benefit, that's more than I can say from most intellectuals. I also think Ferriss is highly skilled as a marketer. Just watching him promote and talk is a lesson in itself. His Joe Rogan interviews are worth listening to, btw, very talkative, experienced guy.

I mostly disagree with you, Maciano.
Yes, he does have some good "big picture" philosophy about enjoying your time and life now, and not waiting for "retirement". And maybe for this alone it's worth listening to his pep talks.
But there's just so much filler in his books that you have to ask whether they're worth it.
Matt Forney did a great takedown of Ferris last year on ROK. Read it here if you have not yet:
