Thanks for explaining what's so enervating about "hacks"-- that was great, and I'm going to buy the book and give it a shot

This review explains the phase of my productivity journey that I am on. I also was turned on to "productivity" by the Four Hour Work Week and yes since then I have been seeking to build that "Working Model of Myself" beyond an almalgam of hacks laced together by vision and values. This Pathless Path sounds like just what the Doctor ordered. Thanks Charlie for summing up the shape of the required transition.

This was very good. Thoughtful, balanced and made me want to add the book to my to-reads. Appreciated your nuance on hack-purveyors as well, you showed a little of the good while also carefully grappling with the bad and providing a way forward.
