I recently read The Four Hour Workweek, by Tim Ferriss. I found it very useful, with critical information and ideas that have changed the way I see my future business. However, as it is the case with any book, the 4HWW does not answer every question and I have a number of issues that i intend to clarify.

I would like to open a discussion on the ideas contained in the book, to build on Tim Ferriss' work.

Have you read the book?
Would you like to talk about it?

OK, it seems nobody has read this book.
I am surprised.

Well, then I strongly recommend that, if you are serious about online business, you have a look at it.
I assure you I do not get a commission from Tim Ferriss
