By the way, cdot, cheating actually requires you to BREAK rules, but I'm guessing you didn't read those either.

In his book he suggested doing things like getting speech engagements in important places to facilitate name dropping and the spinning of those experiences to inflate your credentials. I stopped reading his book right there. Reeks of self promoting bullshit monger.

I've never before heard or seen anyone do this, and it took myself months to increase my strength that much. And that was during the first year of training, a period when the rate of strength increase as far as I know is at its highest for most people. “Tim promises to show readers how to increase muscle strength by 30% in three days or less,”

He's trying here to just doing some shameless plugging of his internet business by making more outlandish claims about himself. That kickboxing championship in China? He cheated to get the title by using extreme dehydration methods to get into the lower weight classes and then re-hydrated and focused all of his effort on pushing his opponents outside the out of bounds line so they would be disqualified and he would win because he didn't know anything about kickboxing. Meaning he didn't even fight them. It's described in his book if you want to look it up which I luckily read at a bookstore instead of buying. Also, imagine if people such as doctors, lawyers, scientists and other career professionals took his outsourcing career advice? We would all be left untreated when sick, underrepresented, and the economy would crash not to mention the progress like Singularity Hub cares about which takes strenuous effort by many people to achieve. He's the read deal alright, a real sociopath, cheater, and con artist that sites like singularity hub shouldn't be wasting their time with. I'm not insulting the author here because Ferriss is a very slick con man and I can understand how his allure can trick people but I think the author should look closer next time.
