The book, The Type-Z Guide to Success: A Lazy Person’s Manifesto to Wealth and Fulfillment, is a manifestation to the book’s objective. True to the Type-Z philosophy, the book is short and sweet and to the point. The author, Marc Allen, claims that he is as lazy and unorganized as it comes. He does not work on Monday, and frequently sleep until past 11, which I can completely relate.

Sat, 06 May 2006 20:42:06 +0000 http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2006/04/the-type-z-guide-to-success-with-ease/#comment-11182 [...] I was reading in Steve Pavlina’s blog about how you can make your life a success by working less not more. I like this idea. There are many rich people that work twice as much as I do, but are they actually a success? I think a successful person not only has money and things but has a happy family. That’s my true measure of success. I don’t agree, however that you can be lazy and be a success as Marc Allen says in his book. Granted, I haven’t read his entire book, but I did read several of the sample pages he has available on his website. I agree that you have to have perseverance, but laziness doesn’t get you anywhere. Maybe the key to his succes is goal setting. Without a goal to shoot for, you’re shooting for nothing.
