I read the 4 hour work week like 12 years ago or so on my semester abroad in San Diego. Back then I loved it and it was the reason for me to get into tech. 12 years forward and a huge burnout later I see the world differently. And I guess so does Tim. He recently opened up about his mental health and if you ask me, there’s a lot of shit burried under his skin. One of the things I see that resonates well with what you are writing, is the fact that we were all brought up in this bullshit game, trying to compete for useless material possessions and fake fame. The good thing is that we all have an inner truth. A voice inside of us that is calling the bullshit. Some listen to it earlier than others. Others have to be woken up more harshly. Oh and I do think Tim is responsible for that reality. He’s perpetuating it with his voice and influence.
