The titular four hour workweek was enabled by selling "herbal supplements" online IIRC. I don't regard that as aspirational. (Though I'm aware people need money to live, and you know, do what you gotta do I guess...but...).

Yeah it seems Tim’s journey was about faking it till he ‘made’ it: selling supplements > selling book (about selling supplements + outsourcing) > angel investing

Sometimes. I think I’ve only listened to a few (like 2 or 3). For me most of it falls under the category of ‘magical voluntarism’. It surprised me in his conversation with Dr. Gabor Maté (who I’m a big fan of) how he was scared to really open up and be honest/real.

The book isn't for people who aspire to something greater than passive income and free time. In this case I'd say you're not the target audience.
