Comments on: The Importance of Setting Exceptional Goals – The One Thing I Learned From The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferris http://www.thefitnessadviser.com/2009/08/the-importance-of-setting-exceptional-goals-the-one-thing-i-learned-from-the-4-hour-workweek-by-timothy-ferris/ Fitness Tips, Injury Advice, and Nutritional Advice Geared For Results Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:33:57 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Rafi http://www.thefitnessadviser.com/2009/08/the-importance-of-setting-exceptional-goals-the-one-thing-i-learned-from-the-4-hour-workweek-by-timothy-ferris/comment-page-1/#comment-340 Rafi Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:27:17 +0000 http://thefitnessadviser.com/?p=1804#comment-340 Sangita - The book essentially talks about making less money (although in an automated fashion, something that doctors, construction workers, mechanics, etc. aren't able to do anyway) and using the rest of the time to travel the world and get more for your money by visiting poor countries. The problem is that for people who are married and have families, aside from the expenses going up to live like that, they generally need to be at least a little bit settled. I even think that I might have heard Timothy Ferris (who isn't married) himself say that it's not aimed towards married people although I could be mistaken. Hope that clarifies it! -Rafi Sangita – The book essentially talks about making less money (although in an automated fashion, something that doctors, construction workers, mechanics, etc. aren’t able to do anyway) and using the rest of the time to travel the world and get more for your money by visiting poor countries.

While I absolutely agree with everything you say here I have got to admit I am curious. Why do you say that the book is only for someone who wants to stay single? I have heard of this book.
