The 4-Hour Workweek at Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

The 4-Hour Workweek

Published by henderob May 22nd, 2007 in General FSM news.

I just read this book titled The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss. It’s by far the best business/productivity book I’ve ever read. It’s all about cutting out the garbage that robs your time, and pursuing the things that matter.

I think maybe I liked it so much because I’ve been trying to avoid a “real job” so hard for the last couple years.

There’s a lot of really important, counter-intuitive ideas laid out in this book. Like, for instance: Busyness is a form of laziness to avoid doing the important things you need to do. I have days where I check my email 10+ times a day, and get nothing done.

If you’re interested in this kind of stuff, and I suspect a lot of Pastafarians are, check out Tim’s blog here. Or go buy the book here.

Ummm… is this news really important to Pastafarianism? Methinks the standars for new threads have been lowered a bit…

How dare you question the Prophet Bobby’s judgment? Say 10 RAmen’s and eat a bowl of spaghetti immediately.

Those of us saddled with real jobs spend our time devising ways to look busy instead of being so. Once you get a real job, you will appreciate the nobility of this calling. By the way, if you can survive without a real job, do it. And please tell me how.

Bobby is talking about displacement activity.
It is well documented that I use CoFSM to avoid the ironing…

Congrats on gold medal.

I should be working right now… I’m not sure that advertising not coming here is a good business move - surely checking on your religous headquaters is the same sort of thing as checking your email when you dont need to?

My ocmputer thanks you Bobby.

I bet Bobby gets a comission for each of those books that sells. Here we go. He’s trying to get money from us again.

Purchase the Gospel

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
