"We don’t mow our lawns, we don’t clean our homes, we don’t cook our meals, we don’t drill for oil, we won’t build oil refineries, we simply don’t do much anymore".
This is a sign of prosperity not a lack of hard work. We also don't cut our own trees, build our own furniture, use printing presses or churn our own butter. Instead, we've been able to reassign our time and talents to more productive or fulfilling tasks while leaving or paying for tasks such as these to machines or to a lesser amount of people.
One caveat, in TFHWW, Ferriss often comes off as sort of a douche, but that doesn't mean there aren't great concrete ideas and references throughout the book - the key is knowing which ones are applicable to your life. The book is by no means perfect, but it's certainly better than the self-improvement fluff and vapor proliferating itself all over the Amazon best seller lists.
The blog post author seems to confuse working hard and working smart.

I agree. I do recommend TFHWW to people, but never without embarrassment.
