I never played Blitz the League 1, and intended to purchase Blitz The League 2 when it launched in late 2008 - but never did.

I got it this past week off of Goozex, and the thing that immediately drew me in made me queasy were the injuries.  As a former football player, I can’t even watch the ankle, or Achilles heel segments.

The System Is Broken

America ran for about 100 years on the idea that you will grow up, graduate, get a job, and generally be taken care of by that job.

That changed - faster than any of us expected, when the recession hit a few years ago.  Currently, unemployment is the highest its been in 20 years.  There’s no such thing as a stable job.  There’s not nearly as much incentive to slave away 60 hours a week for your employer - especially in a time when they cannot guarantee your job stability.

The 4-Hour Work WeekI picked up The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferris on the recommendation of a friend.  I am now singing it’s praises, and recommending it to my friends and family.

You don’t have to desire international travel to appreciate the tips in this book.  You don’t have to want to become an entrepreneur, or start a dietary supplement business.  The biggest take-away I had was the idea that your time has a value.

If you save $50 by spending 5 hours on a brain-dead task, it’s not saving you $50 if your time is worth more than $10/hour.  The book is filled with great information, tips, tricks, and resources to allow you to take your time back, and live for yourself rather than for your employer.
