Thread: Four Hour Body

I just picked up the Four Hour Body by Tim Ferriss. Been reading a few chapters here and there and I must say that it is interesting. Just wondering if anyone else has read the book.

The book is very random in its subject matter, but I'm finding it interesting because I think there's a chapter for everyone. There's a chapter that tells you how to increase your bat speed and ball distance by 35%. I need to test this out for next season.

Other chapters talk about how to reduce your 40 yard dash time. how to lose 2% body fat in 2 weeks, etc...

Anything in it about thinking faster?

It's called shortening your stroke

But yea, I wonder if there's something about increasing pitch speed, I know I added about 10mph just by overemphasizing my leg drive much like Tim Lincecum, only on a much smaller scale since I'm 6'4" 230 and throw about 80mph max and he's 5'11" 170 and throws mid 90's.

Is there anything about his "Lose 20lbs in 30 days" Diet, if so, then I've documented on these forums and my site about my real-life experience and can vouch for the fact that it works!

Speed + for giving value there

Tim Ferriss didn't become Wired Magazines "Self Promoter of the Year" a few years back for nothing. Everything he posts about is to promote a product/service that he has a vested interest in, IMO, very fastlane!!!

Even more so are his techniques to sell more books, he did similar tactics with both editions of 4HWW, where he promoted action through give-aways, the irony being that the give-aways probably costed a lot less than traditional marketing and were 100x more effective, i.e. 4HWW 2nd Edition had the opportunity to win a free trip anywhere in the world and a one-on-one consultation with Tim, both of which I'm sure cost him next to nothing, but helped to sell 1000 books to one person who placed the retail value on those prizes.

Ah, but how do you know they're all satisfied?

I know you're into metrics . . .

Do you use Customer Feedback forms?

•How did I do? (please rate my performance today)

a) Are we there yet?
b) Hey, wake me up when it's over, K?
c) Gee, I could go for some nachos right now
d) What was your name again?

•How could I improve on our services to you?

a) Name tags
b) Fix those cracks in the ceiling
c) Offer a rewards program for frequent fliers
d) Free air freshener when you get a hot wax


•Will you come again soon?

(OK, I'll stop)

PS Since I always remove my watch, I've never timed these things.

I'm lost.

What's a female orgasm?

If it doesn't happen within 2 minutes, I'm clueless.

While I know we ALL want to perfect the art of the female orgasm, for the purposes of these forums I'd prefer focusing on the marketing of this book.

With that in mind is ShangXiu one of TF's VAs? If so, how
effective is this strategy in getting backlinks if you're doing it through posting value add posts with links embedded?

Additionally, does anyone have experience with using a VA for backlinks and site promotion?

While I plan on doing this work on my own to start, I want to be able to eventually outsource this task so I can focus more time and effort on higher impact tasks like customer service and franchising.

Now back to the 15 minute female orgasm- something that should NEVER be outsourced(unless it's your "thing" to just watch )

And if that's not enough, the first song that popped up on my iPhone playlist while I typed this was "Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark, the real life Vinny Chase from Entourage who of course knows a thing or two on the subject

And by the way there is a survey. And it's 98% "extremely satisfied" and the other 2% is "who the hell are you?"

Are these skills part of the martial arts you teach your 18+ students?

If so, that'd really take your dojo to the Fastlane
