Mental Playground

Four Hour Work Week  (Lifestyle Design)

FireDogLake  (progressive politics and policy)

Lew Rockwell  (anti-war, anti-state, true free market and some lifestle articles on nutrition, self-defense, education , etc)

Zen Habits  (finding simplicity in the daily chaos of our lives.)

For the benefit of my mental, temporal and fiscal sanity, I have been working on reducing my exposure to mental stimulation via  the web, books, audios, tv, dvd's and magazines.  You might say that I am a knowledge hound and information junky.  Thousands of books, hundreds of audios and dvd's, dozens of daily e-newsletters and at one point a subscription to 20 diverse magazines. 

This past week I spent almost three hours in recorded conversation with Norie Huddle who created and continues to unfold the Best Game on Earth.  The basic idea of her game is for us

"to  consider that if we (humans) consciously agree on a few basic goals and rules, we can introduce a new "life game" which is much more enjoyable and effective for everyone." 

in late June of 2007, I found Four Hour Work Week after purchasing the book by the same title by Tim Ferriss. I have spent some time on the site, found the book on tape and have tracked TF's blog on a regular basis.
