An absolute disappointment

This is such a technical and jargon ridden book and just awful to listen to. There are way too many acronyms and measurements having the promised downloadable support material may have helped to understand. But where is it? It is a waste of time and money. I’d like to get a refund please?

Don't waste your money

What disappointed you about The 4-Hour Body?

Outdated diet advice questionable training protocols I doubt this would work for many peolpe. Refers to written material not provided. Not very inspiring Tim rates himself gets boring after a while.

Would you ever listen to anything by Tim Ferriss again?

Probably not

Comes across as bragging.

The first half has some decent insights even though the narrator comes across as arrogant and kind of talks down to his audience. I cringed when he said he cleared his throat before saying he is a happy participant in sex research. When he started talking about porn stars and sexual education involving watching women getting fingered I disconnected. I was asking myself WTF am I listening to here?

Dodgy advice that isn't healthy

He mentions things like binging and then having enough caffeine so that it has a laxative effect so you don't absorb as many calories.
This is literally Pro-ana advice.
That's not healthy.
Couldn't finish it.
Also only eating fruit once a week and using supplements for pretty much everything instead? Yikes

Great book but a little out dated

Still heaps of good information and turning the “light back on” moments for me. With plenty of laughs as well. Would love a follow up.

Didn't know what to get out of it

Had a whole lot of techniques that just sounded like personal experiments based on the authors own research. I don't doubt the results achieved for himself but I can't see the methods as being easily used by the average person including myself.. Engaging reading and I was able to finish the book but I had lost interest about 30% in

This is a revelation. I’ve put this into effect already and the results are already looking good!
