I’ve always been frustrated by this. If they check it before TSA it’s 25/30$, and if they check it at the gate, it’s more hassle and work for employees, it’s still loaded onto the same plane in the same manner, but it’s free?

The problem is all too often people don’t have enough privacy or freedom to do a few non-work-related things throughout the day, to the point where they feel like they have to go hide from their desk for a while just to escape.

Fake video. You’d never see anyone associated with the Redskins tackle with that kind of effort.

Should absolutely work for bourbon and other spirits as well. You’re probably not going to get much from something like vodka, but it should work for any other spirit with complex flavors.

Ha ha ha, eff you! You’re a moron and clearly not a true fan of spirits at all. Go sip on your koolaid while the adults drink.

Bourbon is whiskey. ;)

I use Hiya, works pretty well most of the time. You can flag calls that it doesn’t yet know and it’ll add them to the database. Most telemarketer calls picked up by it are automatically hung up on which is nice.

I have been using Hiya and have it on all the defaults. I know in some of the settings I saw you can have the calls routed straight to voicemail or auto ignore if they think it is spam. I have yet to test this but might be worth giving it another shot so you can drop the monthly fee.

I’ve been using Hiya on Android and it works quite well. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webascender.callerid&hl=en

What most attracts me to Ferris's books is how he works to optimize experimentation and learning. I like seeing how he builds and evaluates his programs more than the actual programs. The details are fun, too, but I'm more interested in how he educates himself and builds routines based on his knowledge.

In the same vein as the Omnivore's Dilemma I really enjoyed -The China Study by T. Colin Campbell.

Sounds a little bit like people's complaints about Ramit Sethi, but on a larger scale. Alright, maybe I've been convinced to check him out.

I think the people that hate Ferris hate him because of the sensational nature of his book titles and claims. Not many people can actually end up with the vaunted 'four hour work week'. People that love him enjoy his engaging style and realize that whether you can do the four hour work week or four hour body or what…

I'll second "The Road Less Travelled". I still have my bad habits and no major personality change, but at least I understand myself and parents actions much better and am more forgiving and understanding of our foibles.

I haven't gotten to his other books, but they're near the top of my list. Any thoughts and suggestions there?

Agree.

I love Ferriss (Along with several of the other books you listed here). His titles sound so bullshit-ey, but they're both chock full of useful tidbits, even if you can't implement his whole regimen.

Several have had a huge impact. Among them:
