The line that spoke to me was on page 219 "It's too big a world to spend most of life in a cubicle." Thanks for your example and work of showing us that there is a whole new world out there. RJ Tim,

Even that you provide examples of many different real liofe personalities, My perception and the one from other people I know they have read your book is that is more focused for young workers wanting to leave or not start the rat race but what about for top executives that want to emancipate from corporate culture. the new book should provide ideas in how to build the 4HHWW being a consolidated executive an a mature person. Since you have publish the book in many languajes, you may know that in other countries that are behind the US many people experiment your concepts in high level corporate positions. I'll love to see your commnets on this. Tim: I have read the book 2 times. the only thing I can reccomend is an aproach for executives.

We need it! Two thoughts on the revised 4HWW: 1) I've often thought about emailing to ask that you consider a separate book on fitness (lifting) & nutrition as it pertains to the 80/20 lifestyle. I've found so much benefit in the simplicity of your approach to lifting and eating. I've sensed that this was all true but never heard it explictly articulated like you do. The reason, now more than ever I feel it's important for people to build up rather than break down. We need to be strong to face the crapola (real and contrived) that hits us daily and nightly. I think if you devoted a page or two to the simplicity of your effective workout and nutrition protocols, that would help a lot of people come out better than ever. 2) For the same reason as above, a section on goals and achievement. We hear so much about it but what have you found is possible. That is, do you believe the visualization so many talk about can really make dramatic changes in reality? Is it really possible to set a goal to triple (or more) your income in one year by setting a goal, visualizing and taking action? I think the consensus in society is "No way" and then they go back to their daily/weekly/monthly/life routines. I know it's possible because I tried it and did it. I would love to hear your take on how to radically increase your income in short time. I know Dan Kennedy teaches this and I would imagine you have a take on it. How valuable would that be to people right now??? Thanks Tim, I think you're great. Jedd Tim,

How about a section in 4HWW update concerning us leading age baby boomers getting ready to pull the trigger and retire. Suerte, SK Tim:
