I'm reading the 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss. Anyone check it out before?

On Chapter 6 right now.

It's on my shelf. Should I move it to the top of the stack?

Just got to Chapter 8.

It reads pretty well and I'm trying to keep an open mind about it. The first part tends to lean more toward goal-setting/dreaming big/conquering fear/etc... basically stuff that you read all the time in personal development/self-help books/articles.

I just finished the second part (chaps. 5-7) which deals primarily with time management and simplification, so you don't get bogged down with stupid sh*t that other people can do. That's given me some food for thought, actually. Still got about 70% of the book to go.

In your particular case, I imagine much of what I've read up to now is old news to you. You might want to read some of Chapter 8 (or later in the book) first and then decide whether to read the rest.

I'll probably read the whole thing through.
