    Neil Strauss is an excellent writer. Keeps you engaged. "The Game" was superbly written

    • @adamoleoni2272
      @adamoleoni2272 9 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Man, read some classics please. Neal strauss is good, all right, but superbly written is a massive overstatement.

    Amazing insight into the minds of these two...they are pretty much applying the "Lean-Startup" module of business to thinking/writing.

  • @eliaschevette

    Can a website or online magazine replace a book? I feel like a website is such a good medium to transfer information like the one Neil and Tim give but can they make the earnings they make from books. The main problem with everything I see online is that is a draft of a book or a half-ass attempt at a book. Nobody takes the time to do a well research full of info website that they sell as whole. I understand people are used to getting a lot for free on websites but would people pay for access to well research information? Does another system of revenue (not advertising) work? Does anybody have any examples of this?

    Neil's last message coudn't have ended it better. Warren Buffet, the world's 3rd richest man said he if he could start his life over he would have rather chosen to strive for happiness than riches.

    @AdalicioJunior 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Actualy, the answer for the last question of Neil - "If in the future, a writter can have a designer and a programmer to build an immersive experience.. blablabla" - i believe, is simple, this immersive experience you are looking for lies in the Games Industry.

    Tim Ferriss needs interview technique. Tim come on over to IdalisMedia we will hook you up. Nice effort..Neil needs to really slow down in his talking he is almost well, I can barely understand what he is saying..its almost like they sped up the audio on this video..or he is speaking after inhaling a helium balloon.

    @iDalisMediaTV 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Was it something I said?... Superficial is your comment full of weird venom. Why does youtube do that to decent people? I haven't done anything to you, the comment was to Tim, are you sleeping with him? is that why you so fiercely protect him? Really, you don't know me, its a bit odd you're getting so upset.. very odd indeed. misplaced anger dude. its not that deep. its youtube lighten up, its a community. Don't stick anything up anyone's ass here. and I am entitled to my opinion.

    Tim Ferriss has a huge ego. He keeps interrupting Neil for irelavent things like "no, he doesn't mean like stakes to kill a vampire" we know Tim lol. Kind of annoying but i'm sure he's a good person. Everyone is a good person deep down inside.

    "cause they're human and they're greedy"... really?. that awas his side remark he's twitchy, annoying and does a lot of work because he cant sit still but.... after he lucked out with his supplement he basically has been making money by telling people how to make money with his cheesy basic books he earned the info on google. he should write a book about writing a book and people would buy it
    oh, and he shouldn't be giving talks on writing..... he published books, thats not writing
    he's that guy at the bar you finish you're drink and make sure your girlfriends are safe and sneak out
