Some love him and worship at the altar of all things Tim Ferris.  And some dismiss him as a self-promoter whose chief value is his ability to sell himself.  Either way, Tim Ferris (most famous for his first book, The 4 Hour Work Week) should get a bit of your attention every once in a while.  And I recently found an article by Tom Foster that is more about time Ferris than from Tim Ferris.  And its a great read.  Tom Foster cuts through the self-promoting BS that Tim Ferris generates and drills down to the actual guy.  There is a lot to be learned.
