It's really sad to see the HN community hate on Tim Ferriss so much. Yeah, he's a controversial person, and he's totally aware of that (even using it to his advantages).

But after you inserted your 4 Hour joke here, think about what you have done, that created value in this world?

Tim wrote three NYT Bestsellers and at least two (if not three depending on how you'll measure this) have touched and changed so many lives in a positive way. What have you done?
