"a few months ago, i made a joke about my job at a web design firm. someone asked how i get so much done and i replied, “i actually outsource everything i’ve done to a buddy in india.” everyone laughed because that was absurd… or was it? tim ferriss doesn’t seem to think so. in fact he thinks it’s absurd to live the kind of lives most americans live nowadays: 80-hour weeks to earn a lot of money to buy a lot of things we don’t need and get drunk on the weekends. ferriss’ life is a bit different- he’s lived the typical thrill-seeker’s existence since his epiphany years ago including kick-boxing, globe-trotting, enjoying mini retirements, racing motorcycles, and working very little to pay for it all."
