Default The Choice Effect mentioned on Tim's blog for free

The Choice Effect is the subject of the latest blog on the FHWW site.

http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog...re-you-single/

and you can get a free copy of it for Kindle here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/tag...8&s=music#tags

The blurb makes it sounds more appealing to ladies but the blog suggests a wider appeal. For aspiring musers - understanding that more choice doesn't necessarily equal more purchases is worth appreciating too.

Yeah, I thought it was somewhat strange that it seemed to be so directed towards a romantic angle with a female audience. I guess that happens when you outsource your blogs, ha.

Definitely minimize choices for your muse though. I prefer setting everything up so that it's a choice mostly of whether you want it or not- not varying shades of colors or what have you. If you're offering more than 2 options you're kind of screwing yourself most of the time, and even then you should focus long and hard on why you would even need that 2nd one.

Lightbulb Rants from single muser

I guess he was just blogging about what was on his mind at the time. In my own life women are a muse distraction. No women wants to be with a man that cares more for travel, new experiences, and tasting all that life has to offer. Namely, other women at times. I guess that is why I am still single. The authors argument is complicated, I guess from the female perspective it is.
Consider this, women are all chasing the best man from their available choices. Hence, an ugly women has few and a hot one has many, but only at a certain level. With men who have found their muse, the tables are turned, now we have many choices and they have few. I would also add that choices are a function of maturity. A choice at 25, does not seem like a choice at 35. Throw in the Sissyfication of America and 26 is the new 21. Its all screwed up.
My choices are very limited based on these criteria -
1. Do you come from a good family, with a father and/or brothers that I like.
2. Sanity
3. Have you seen less than 20 male organs?
4. Have you tasted the bitterness that life has to offer, so you can appreciate a good sandwich?
These are the questions that try men's souls I could go on, but why?
