I'm referring to Vaj's claim that a Google search on the phrase would turn up many links to get-rich- quick schemes. > and there are, at least now, over 1000 for that phrase, nearly > all of them a sales pitch for a book by Fred Gratzon, which does > indeed sound like a get-rich quick scheme. No, it doesn't. Unless you have an exceptionally idiosyncratic definition of "get-rich-quick scheme." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get-rich-quick_scheme The book is about how to be successful without knocking yourself out, and it's based on *MMY's* version of "Do nothing and accomplish everything," i.e., effortlessness. There's no "scheme" involved other than knowing how to accomplish things effortlessly. (He recommends TM, incidentally, as the best foundation for this skill.) Here is an excerpt from of one of the articles: > > The Lazy Way to Success: How to Do Nothing and Accomplish Everything > > By Fred Gratzon, > Author of The Lazy Way to Success > > I don't believe in work.

Or to run out screaming. But if you read *just* a little further: "I came to appreciate that hard work scares success away. Success, it turns out, is inversely proportional to hard work. In other words, the less you work, the more you succeed. Or the more you work, the less you succeed. "However, there is one catch - you have to know how to avoid work properly. There is an art to gaining success through avoiding work. Once you follow the principles, then you will be able to accomplish great things and achieve as much wealth as you desire, while still preserving your health, happiness, and family life." It's really a book about self-actualization. Again, there is no "scheme" involved.
