The 4-Hour Work Week

So, I've been wanting to start posting about this book and how it influences my life for some time now and now that it's Spring Break, I can finally start to organize things. I'll probably go chapter-by-chapter trying to integrate this stuff into my life and see how it affects me. I haven't worked out the finer details just yet. Here's a preview of the book. I've already read parts of this book and it has a lot of good things one can glean from its pages, despite the sort of ultimate problem solving approach overview below.
