Yea, I'll agree some of the bullet points are not possible for many people, and the list does sound pretty cheesey the way I cut-and-pasted it.

But, consider a few of the points the author makes:

"New Rich" can/will be defined as those who free themselves from the 9-5 routine. Someone making $40K per year who is free to chase their dreams may be more "rich" than someone who makes $400K and is a slave to the office.

Or how about the idea that the traditional "deferred life" plan (save enough money doing something you don't like so that you can stop doing it forever and do something you do like in retirement) is a fools game?

I liked the emphasis in the book on the Pareto principle and Parkinson's Law (two of my favorites). I see a lot of time wasted by business people who do things (have meetings) because they have to be in the office 9-5.

A lot of posts in this forum occur during "normal work hours", no? Would we be doing something more productive if we weren't chained to a desk all day?
