[...] In addition, make sure you test both your title and subtitle.

Hi Leo,
Thanks for this interview. I am halfway through Tim Ferriss’ book. I love his concept of low information diet and checking email once a week and all that. I also believe that outsourcing could help in many ways especially now that we’re all interconnected via email. However, I have a point to make. Tim is American. His currency is American dollars. Perhaps that is why it is easy to live on very little (as he mentioned, you don’t need to wait for retirement before you can enjoy your life) if one uses American dollars in South America. Because American dollar is a strong currency. I live in Asia, in Malaysia in fact. If I were to live a lifestyle that he proposes, I would probably think of going to Vietnam or somewhere where my currency (Malaysian Ringgit) would be worth more so I can live like a queen! I cannot do that in Europe or America. So context is important, no? Not everyone is an American. Not everyone earns US Dollars. Having said that, it is easy to love his concept. It gives us a reason to live right here, right now instead of waiting 30 years before we can do the stuff we like.
