Hey, everyone. I've always hated those Instagram posts captioned with the words,

live your dreams, because most of my dreams are me getting chased by an invisible monster.

However, this book has some concrete ideas that make sense to me, and it literally enabled

today's guest to quit a day job and live all over the planet.

Today's book is The Four Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss,

and today's guest is Irish comedian Dave Nihill, and this is The Book Pile. A podcast about the

best of books and the worst of books. If this is your first time on the podcast, welcome,

and maybe suggest checking out

our back catalog of over 170 episodes on as many books. As usual, my co-host, David Vance,

isn't here this week, but he will be returning next week when we cover the graphic novel,

Watchman. But also, it's okay that he's not here today because I've

temporarily replaced him with another Dave. I'm Kellanerskin. I'm a comic, a father, and I also wrote a book

called The Four Hour Work Week, but it was just a memoir of the pandemic when I lost all my

income and was working 45 minutes a day

collecting recycling for cash. It was a short book, which I also recycled for the money.

If you want to see me live, I'm going to be in Southern California this week at various

venues within about a 30-mile radius of San Diego.

I'm going to be in Grass Valley, California. May 18th, I will probably be in Sunnyvale, California,

May 30th through June 2nd. Keep checking my website to confirm that. Then I will be in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, at Rumors Comedy Club, June 11th through

15th, go to Kellanurskin.com for all of those tickets.

Real quick, if today's book ends up sounding interesting to you, consider buying it using
