Plugged The 4-Hour Body
“Yeah, I mean, I’m not being judgmental; I think that there's validity in lots of those pockets, and there's stuff that's wrong in lots of those pockets. Yeah, there are diets that work extremely well—like the '4-Hour Diet' or Slow Carb.”
Plugged The 4-Hour Body
“For instance, in the '4-Hour Body,' I took a look at the potential effect of cell phones or the proximity of cell phones to, say, gadal function and reproductive health, and the literature that was available at the time was very limited.”

“But rather than trying to collect people like Pokémon cards, developing, say, three to five deeper relationships through longer conversations at an event is what directly led to the hockey stick growth for 'The 4-Hour Workweek' within tech, specifically in San Francisco.”
