The 4-Hour Body Review

February 27, 2011Health & Fitness

Why has it taken me so long to get you this review of Tim Ferriss’ The 4-Hour Body? Because I got caught up testing it. And I’m still doing that. However, the time has also enabled me to more properly digest the book than many of the parade of 5-star (and 1-star) reviewers on Amazon. [...]

Where Have the Good Men Gone?

February 23, 2011Living

I’ve already written about the “New Macho,” the idea that men have to somehow “find a new manhood” to “adapt” to “modern life.” But the onslaught continues (I refuse to call it “misandry,” that’s become a code word for the men who feel the whole world is their enemy).

This episode includes an update on Beginner Workout: Personal Trainer, the product I’ve been working feverishly on. Seriously, I can’t stop talking about it.

New Year’s Resolution? Try a Motto Instead

December 30, 2010Living

The second the clock passed 12 midnight on December 26, the entire blogosphere (and Twit-o-sphere and Facebook-sphere) started asking you for your New Year’s Resolution. Not me. I’m going to suggest that this year you do what I’ve been doing for about 7-8 years now: instead of a resolution, think of a motto. A Motto [...]
