Is he really as awful as I think he is, or am I just annoyed because he represents the opposite of all my failures? The 4 hour body was pretty decent, had some good info. But a lot of his poo poo seems to be just to tell people to go around and travel and work very little, ignoring the fact that he lucked into some stupid startup money. So what is it, does he suck or am I just a jealous rear end in a top hat.

Summarize his ideas for us op. I get the feeling his four hour work week is “have money, invest in things, let those company’s employees work 80 hour weeks to make your investment appreciate, coll ct money” which, even just ignoring the “just be rich to start” angle, ignore the whole fact that SOMEBODY will actually have to do the hourly work to make it all come together. Having said that, the work life balance in the USA is super hosed and most likely the reason for our dissolving social institutions and declining public health/culture.

Yeah that's basically it from what I can gather. He seems super impressed of himself for thinking up "just don't worry about it, let other people handle that poo poo".

i would crush up a chalky pellet I keep in my pocket and blow the powder into his eyes. once he was blinded i would get behind him and kick him in the back of the knee. from there getting him into a submission hold would be child's play

i used to ride casual carpool with a sports medicine physician at ucsf that worked with Ferris a bunch. she mentioned his body is basically hosed up and his hormone levels and everything were basically tanked and that of a 60+ year old. i didnt really know who she was talking about until goolging later or i would have asked questions. but basically sounds like hes probably not going to live very long if it helps then again neither are any of us lol

The 4 hour body is snake oil start to finish too. I did enjoy that tirade in the middle where he discovers the clitoris aged late 30 something, however.

I did his diet. Lost a shitload of weight and kept it off for years, and felt great doing it. Good diet if you ask me. But yeah the rest of his advice seems custom made for people who lucked into a big sum of money which they used to start their own business and can work whatever hours they want, remote if they want, and can directly calculate hours worked to dollars earned. So basically his financial advice seems to apply to like 0.04% of people. All of his other health advice aside from his diet seems to apply to about the same percentage of people too.

The 4-hour Workweek is a pretty loving hilarious read post-2008 and anyone who took him seriously after claiming to gain 34 lbs of muscle in 4 weeks deserves whatever is coming to them.
