Had a Borders gift card and picked this up on Ferriss's recommendation. I think Ferriss has some kind of marketing arrangement with him, because this book wasn't particularly good.
Some very entertaining stuff, like taking tactical/survival classes that teach lockpicking, stealing cars, etc. Wilderness tracker dudes who favor moccasins over hiking shoes and can live in the wild indefinitely make the Movement Natural guys look unbelievably gay.
Most of the entertaining tidbits were contained in Tim's advance release sections:

One thing I liked was he examined the odds getting killed by a gun, terrorist, disaster, etc. vs. dying of heart disease or cancer, and making sure one's preparation factors such realities in. Fat fuck gun nuts who need carry guns to protect themselves from mujaheddin and Crips in Tucson, AZ but who walk around 60 lbs. overweight have always struck me as laughable.
