Study: Exercise Helps Reverse Aging

Posted on May 23rd, 2007 • Filed under Exercise • No Comments

May 22, 2007 – We all know that exercise is good for us. It boosts circulation and tones the cardiovascular system. It builds strength, burns calories and reduces depression. It improves insulin sensitivity in people with diabetes. It may even help delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. But here’s what you didn’t know: it can partially reverse aging at the cellular level.

Now go exercise!!

Confessions of an A-List Blogger

Another hit by Steve Pavlina, go read it.

Consider my current business model. I have no products, no inventory, no customers, no sales, no employees, and no office outside my home. I havenâ€™t spent a dime on marketing since I launched this site in October 2004. But I earn about $40K per month, mostly from joint-venture promotions, advertising, affiliate programs, and donations. Two years ago this site was bringing in about $150/month, and one year ago it was earning around $6K/month, so thatâ€™s a pretty nice rate of growth. The income does fluctuate from month to month, but the positive cashflow is high enough that the fluctuations donâ€™t matter. I maintain a substantial cash reserve too, so I could survive a very long time even if all my income suddenly shut off. This is much less risky than having a job.

Review: The 4 Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss

Posted on May 15th, 2007 • Filed under Books, Entrepreneurship, Productivity • 2 Comments

Generally I’m an optimist and so I was when I received and started to read The 4 Hour Workweek. And I was not disappointed.

Tim, who is 29, deals in tech and neuroproducts, has great aspirations and a lot to show for. I can relate to him in many ways. This made reading this book very interesting and enjoyable.

He breaks the book down into four sections:

Definition – this is where he defines what already exists, what the reality is and what the future holds.
Elimination – in this section Tim shows you how to eliminate what is not needed in your life (and there’s a lot), and how to get rid of it
Automation – How to put the mundane and uninteresting tasks and projects on autopilot and let them take care of themselves while you sail away into the sunset, literally.
Liberation – Liberation from work-for-work and developing to become the New Rich

Although, this is a very short summary of what Tim talks about, I would recommend anybody with an open mind read it. Especially the young, hungry people, for them it’s a requirement.
