You have to give Tim credit, he came up with an excellent controversy. Of course, you all must realize that Tim doesn't follow his own advice. He admits that it took a lot more than 4 hours a week to write the book. He spends more than 40 hours a week promoting the book (even now). Get it? He doesn't believe his own thesis. Sure, it is possible, but for how many people? for how long? Not very many and not very long.
Ferriss never claimed to be writing his book for money. The book is his hobby: he enjoys writing books. He enjoys promoting his book. That's one reason why he's so good at it!
I do agree, though, that the book's advice is not for everyone.
