A previous post in regards to Tim Ferris.
I assumed it did not take off because people here are either lazy (the comments say the opposite), or it didn't work for them consistently enough or as promised, as some comments said.

I think Tim Ferris is a recurring background character; I mean, I've read all three of his four hour books, and his thoughts on various things have influenced mine, and I don't think I'm the only one. But I don't think anything that I heard of from only him was a life-changing thing that worked very well.
So, I saw that the Tim Ferris Experiment was recently released. The concept of this show is that Tim spends 5 days trying to learn a new skill. I haven't seen any of the episodes (the iTunes link appears to be US only), but this seems to be exactly the kind of content that Less Wrong would be interested in.
A few questions:
1) Tim has already written about his accelerated learning techniques in the Four Hour Chef. Has anyone tried his techniques and were they effective for you?
2) Has anyone attempted accelerated learning based off another resource? How effective was it?
