Agree with Dragline; also, take notes. I think more science-y people will find the math parts easier to handle, and more humanities/politics people will find the philosophy part easier to handle. When it comes to the calculations (2/3rds into the book if I remember correctly), plug your own numbers in and do several calculations. Perhaps the most eye-opening moment in my life.
I am reading the book tonight and made it to page 6 or 7 before realizing just how much I have to learn about ERE. Why don't they teach this in school? Come to think of it, my grandparents lived this way. I just didn't see it as valuable. It's a shame.
Yeah, i missed that in the original post. That sounds pretty sketchy! Bosses are not only bosses but get to have a day, too? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss's_Day
@dragoncar It's a concept that has actually been around since the late 1950's http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/boss-day
I hadn't heard about it until a couple of years ago when I was relocated by my employer to my current office location (and it's certainly nothing I personally promoted to my employees if that's what you're thinking). I'd wager that I am not anything like the sterotypical boss that may have come to mind when you read the original post.
I finished the book. I went back and re-read chapters 6, 7, and the epilogue several times. Funny thing is I've been quoting it to my friends at work. Everyone wants to do it, but no one wants commit to the lifestyle changes. Several have said they do plan to read it after hearing me talk about it.
