I generally like Tim Ferris - even though he can get a little douchey for my liking. I loved this Ted Talk he gave though - and, there's an amazing quote at the end! Perfect for this group.

I really like his books.

Anyone who can write on how to travel around the world on a shoestring, give any woman a 15 minute orgasm, swing a baseball bat, and cook a world class meal get a thumbs up in my book. I do agree he can get a bit douchey on video though.

Sham's Law #1: Everything in life is simple. First you figure out what you want. Second, you figure out how to get it. Third you do it. The first step, unfortunately happens to be the hardest.
