It was already dated when I read it 5 years ago. Motivated me to give myself permission to seek something other than employment.

I regularly recommend it with the massive caveat that half of the resources in the book have link rotted away.

We never know what inspires people.

I haven't worked for someone else in over 20 years, live in my favorite place in the world, and work when I want to. That book and the concept of "lifestyle design" are big contributors to my extraordinary happiness.

i didnt hate the book at all, i just didnt think deserves to show up in this list.
