I am skeptical myself, and I’m not sure if this will be a success. I’m hoping this will be a public experiment to prove (or disprove) the ideas in the book. I encourage feedback, comments, criticism.

He claims to have set the record for most tango turns performed in a minute. This is true. The problem is…there is no competition for the most tango turns completed within a minute. Tango is a sensual dance. Doing the most tango turns is meaningless to Tango.

Think of it like this; In baseball a Pitcher sets a world record for the most baseballs thrown in a minute from the pitching mound to the short stop. Sure, the guy sets a record, but it’s totally meaningless to his skills as a baseball player or the game of baseball. There is no competition to see who can throw the most baseballs and no pro pitcher would waste his time even trying.

This is the case with Ferriss’s tango record. Totally meaningless… and he didn’t even perform it well at all.

My friend read the book (I outsourced it to him, LOL) and from the stuff he quoted from the book, I won’t waste my time reading it.

I am starting a new semi-regular feature here called Behind the Meme. You’ve heard of the VH1 show Behind the Music. This is similar. Each post will take a look at a meme (e.g. an idea that spread through conversations)
