Ferriss, author of "The Four-Hour Workweek," uses what he calls a "small army" of virtual assistants for everything he can think of checking his e-mail, screening his phone calls, and sending gifts to family and friends. He has even had a team find and schedule dates for him online. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer)
