With a Grain of Salt, A Bit of Inspiration
|
| I recently joined the unemployed (not the new rich with plenty of disposable time but the folk who involuntarily don't work). For sure Tim is a bit of a huckster who excels at self-promotion (and he gives you a primer on doing the same). I read this book with skepticism and I retain it: dehydrating to enter a fight in a lower weight class, then rehydrating to regain the weight and pushing a guy out of the ring may win a "technical" championship but it's not mastering the martial art. Boiled down, Tim tells us to start an online store and outsource everything. That said at a time when I am looking at my options and seeking a way of providing for myself that is less masochistic than the office work for 40 or 50 hours a week, I found this book encouraging and inspiring. Perhaps I cannot be as free as Tim but before I go back to work, I intend to consider long and well my values and interests before putting on any (golden or not) handcuffs. To me the real strength of this book is not whether Tim has created a truly workable solution for everyone but that he has generously reminded us that we are part of an equation in the work place, that our needs and not just the employer's needs matter, and he gives you a script to get those needs met. How often do successful people tell you how they negotiated accommodation and rewards? They don't except with platitudes and vague advice about working hard. Whether you think Tim is shallow or not, he does give some workable advice that might just get you home more, working less, and pursuing your interests freely. |
