What Is The 4 Hour Body By Timothy Ferriss
This #1 New York Times bestselling author asks in this latest book, what are the smallest changes to produce the largest results? He writes for an audience of both men and women, from the gym to the bedroom. The 4 Hour Body speaks to prevention of fat gain while binging, increasing fat loss with ice bags, gaining 34 pounds of muscle in 28 days and in 4 hours at the gym total time, sleeping 2 hours a day and feeling rested, producing 15 minute orgasms for women, tripling testosterone and doubling sperm counts. And these are but a few of the topics that are taught in less than 30 minutes each. There are over 50 topics and more than 200 test subjects.
The 4 Hour Body is for those people who have tried the normal recommended diet plans and have gotten results but nothing incredible. They are the people who have plateaued and are looking for an additional push. This book is definitely a push. It has some tips in it that when followed correctly claim to produce incredible results in a short time and with little effort other than remembering to do them.
Timothy Ferriss is a scientist in the real world realm and as so he may just be someone to follow closely. In The 4 Hour Body he points out what to look for that is bad information and not be distracted by it. This book is for the person who is not afraid to think outside of the box and is willing to try anything to get the desired results. And that is a brave new world concept and one that is worth checking out.
You will get a great deal of statistical information that is both historical and applicable to your everyday life. The 4 Hour Body will make you think about why things are they way they are. It will make you question the status quo. It will make you think. For those who are thinkers and doers and like to challenge what has always been the truth to perhaps looking at a topic through another lens this book is fascinating. It is not a novel, it is a reference book. You choose the topic you are interested in and you follow it to a tee. It is a dense book with a lot of diverse topics to delve into. You are a curious person and you like to know what the latest methods are in solving a problem. You are a person who is interested in technology, in science and in living your life to its fullest.
In reading The 4 Hour Body one must have an open mind and not take every word as the truth. It advises to be skeptical and to use that to look for the best option for you.

It is an interactive book, he is an interactive kind of guy and he likes to hear feedback to make his claims as accurate as possible. He wants to give people a sense of discovery and exploration to be enjoyed.

Gee, the more I read about this book on the web, the more controversy I see about the author and about the content. The sex stuff (15 minute orgasm) is what got me to buy The 4-Hour Body. There is some good stuff in those two chapters – useful illustrations and a fairly straightforward approach from his teachers and trainers – but its really just an introduction – I’m guessing this one of the topics in the book he has researched the least.
