Just Got "The 4-Hour Body"

I've been reading the reviews and summaries of this book for about a month now. I generally don't spend money on things that turn out to be useless. This one had me skeptical. Among the many claims in this book, the author, Tim Ferriss, says his ten years of experiments have yielded the secrets to losing 20 pounds in 30 days, increase fat-loss 300% with bags of ice, gain 34 pounds of muscle in 28 days, sleep 2 hours a day and feel fully rested, increase running distance from 5 kilometers to 50 kilometers in 12 weeks, and many more, just by making small adjustments in one's daily life. You can see why I'm skeptical.

On the other hand, he has access to both the greatest scientific minds and the greatest athletes in the world...and as many test subjects as he wants. The premise of the book is intriguing, and so I decided to go ahead and spend the money to see what it's all about. Tim Ferriss has already developed quite the reputation with his book, "The 4-Hour Workweek", which happens to share the title of "#1 New York Times Bestseller" with this latest work. This adds to his credibility, but whether or not these theories work for others remains to be seen. I have no connection with Ferriss or his publishers, so my opinion is only my own. I will be reading the book and using the techniques that are relevant to my goals. As soon as I see the results (or lack of), I'll report them for your reading pleasure!
