Comments on: The 4 Hour Workweek: Wrapup http://corriehaffly.wordpress.com/2007/11/29/the-4-hour-workweek-wrapup/ This is my blog. I can be wordy. But I take really cute photos of kittens... er... babies, so it's all good.

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 agree, I am working through that right now, and doing my very best to start my own business, so that I do not have to "get a job". Keep up the good work!
