its a great challenge....
basically i want to experience other stuff in life like learning languages and traveling the globe as a nomad which is more fulfilling than just having expensive material possessions, which impress idiots.
this is what the book is about.. automating your life and business so you can do all the things you want to do now without spending your whole life working and living life only after you are retired.

Exactly. Most people are responding to the title of the book and haven't read it I noticed. One of the concepts is the 80/20 rule. 20% of your activities,clients,sites, etc, etc, make up 80% of your income. Using this rule the goal is to focus your energy on that 20% and outsource the BS that sucks up your time and makes you feel productive since you spend a lot of hours doing it.
Will everyone do what Tim Ferris is doing? No. If I read a book about bodybuilding by arnold swartzenegger and it helped me in the gym just a little bit then it was worth it. Doesn't mean I have to get on steroids, dehydrate myself to near death, and lift till I vomit to make it a worthwhile book.
