…[Timothy] Ferriss offers advice about so many disparate things \u201d\u201d not simply losing weight and building muscle and improving sex and living forever, but learning to hold your breath longer than Houdini (!) and hit baseballs like Babe Ruth (!!) \u201d\u201d that paging through \u201cThe 4-Hour Body\u201d\u009d is like reading the sprawling menu in a dubious diner, quite certain the only thing you\u2019d dare order is the turkey club.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a better analogy: \u201cThe 4-Hour Body\u201d\u009d reads as if The New England Journal of Medicine had been hijacked by the editors of the SkyMall catalog. Some of this junk might actually work, but you\u2019re going to be embarrassed doing it or admitting to your friends that you\u2019re trying it. This is a man who, after all,… likes bloodletting as a life-extension strategy and aims a Philips goLite at his body in place of ingesting caffeine.<\/p>\n
