Word on the street is that all the financial and cheating scandals were a direct result of the lifestyle of Timothy Ferriss and his admonition to hack any and every system you meet.

According to his philosophy, never take for granted that social courtesy is made of granite rather than formulated granite substitute (i.e., wheat germ or Grape Nuts cereal instead of oatmeal for breakfast).

Sell questionable herbal remedies and get rich, or break tradition to win at sports.

Ferriss is a god to someone, I’m sure.

I just see him as a good warning – the associates climbing up the social/business ladder behind you are closing the gap and accelerating past you faster than they appear!
