Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: In Context Blog

Corrie Haffly has an interesting take on Tim Ferris’ book The 4-hour Work Week at her blog:

I’m still working through ideas of what “work” is and its place in my life. Tim’s book challenges my ingrained culture and work ethic, showing that time does not necessarily equal money and forcing me to look at whether or not my time is actually being spent on what I value, or if I’m just spinning my wheels. One of the ideas underlying this book seems to be that “work” has no value in itself — it’s something that should be minimized so that you can do what you really want to do. I wonder if the average person who reads this book (and does something with it) hates their career, job, or employer, and is looking for a way out. However, I find my current line of work to be interesting and fulfilling (and it helps that I’m my own employer). I’m not sure that I’d find running an income-making machine-type company to be as fulfilling (although I guess I won’t really know until I find out).

I have to say that I agree with her, in that I too am still working out what I want my work to be. I do not want to go in to an office any more, rather I’d like to make this my work. Have you, my dear readers, read Ferris’ book? What did you think, and are you following any of his advice? I’d love to hear what you have to say.
