Lifestyle design[edit]

This article seems to be based on a series of promotional websites and use of the phrase "Lifestyle Design" in self-promotional books without any significant rationale that the term has a meaningful definition outside self-promotional jargon. If some real sources can be produced (such as recognized journals) there may be the basis of an article. As it currently stands the article is a self-help website spam magnet.

Delete per WP:SOAP and merge to The 4-Hour Workweek. While the term "lifestyle design" is a neologism, it was around well before Timothy Ferriss coopted it for his 2007 book. Gobonobo ^T ^C 04:26, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
