The ideas seem unconventional but you could check it out yourselves. The book's website is www.fourhourworkweek.com by Tim Ferriss. I'm curious as to what people would think of it and it's approach.

Even though it was written in (I think) '89, everything in that book is still quite relevant. It's a MUST READ. Plus, the author is a Laurier grad, and also a REALLY good speaker.

I think really those are two concepts that everyone needs to understand. I have a huge fear of the unknown. I preoccupy about new endeavors. I have trouble if I can't come up with some realistic expactations. I hate going in cold. I also have a lot of trouble seeing my future. I'm planning pretty well, and executing pretty well right now, but I have trouble seeing it go anywhere. I still persist. At the same time, I also have trouble seeing myself as not successful. I'm too smart, too competent, too much better than most of the my peers to not do better than they will. I just hope I can execute appropriately so that these qualities will be recognized, and people will drop bags with dollar signs off at my door for me to be able to exercise them. People understand the concept of saving money for later, but I think referring to it as insulating themselves is much more accurate. They have trouble looking at their bank account and saying, "I won't be spending this money." It took me far longer than it should have for me to be able to do it. I have the financial backing to do a few things I want to do in the luxury department, but I know that right now is not the right time to do them. It's too risky, I need a little more insulation before I can afford to cut in to it a little bit. Simply having enough money isn't all people should be thinking about. You can afford lots of things, but it's no good if you break yourself doing it. I really like the pieces of this article where you talk about the fear of the unknown and about insulation.
