to write about the music with any frequency, she offers a perspective on the men and women who
play jazz for a living that seldom finds its way into print."New York Times

"Marian McPartland is that rare combination, a first rank jazz musician who also can write about her
music, its milieu and musicians. [She] writes with wit, acumen, and vivacity."San Diego Union

"Sick of the rat race? Tim is the future!"
--Tim Colvin, office of the CTO, Morgan Stanley

Tim Ferriss is an extraordinary young man on a mission. The twenty-eight-year-old serial vagabond and successful entrepreneur has been teaching a wildly popular course at Princeton University for the past four years: a how-to and why-to guide to throwing out the old methods for success (balancing life and work, retiring well, having a great nest egg) and replacing them with an entirely new way of living.
