What I'm actually trying to say in this post is that you need to change your way of thinking about working hard, retiring and only then doing what you'd like (i.e. lifestyle design). If you're already familiar with this concept - this post won't provide you any new insights. I have thought about writing the practical tips right there, but these could actually be spread across several posts.

I suppose so, but you have to consider your audience here. Most/all of HN is familiar with the 4 Hour Work week, and your post was basically just its back cover description.

I'm interested in what you have to say, but you're gonna have to be more detailed and less hand-wavy to keep people interested.

I guess you're right, but I'm trying to build this entire blog step-by-step, with "intro" posts like these as a prelude.

You can probably skip posting teasers to HN. Also maybe consider writing a post on knowing your audience.
