Well, we’ve had a great run.
Over the years, I’ve had the honor and pleasure of sharing many amazing memories with you.
You’ve seen me get slapped in the face over and over again.
I’ve shared the deepest parts of my soul. Yes, even my dark moments.
You’ve been with me through very thick. And thin.
But I have a confession to make…
Hack The System just isn’t my passion anymore.
I want to show you new, original material that’s never been taught before.
I’ve been working so hard on my new book, and I’m finally ready to unveil it.
The book is going to be revolutionary. In it, you’ll learn:
- The step-by-step strategies for cutting in line at the supermarket
- How to adopt pets from the ASPCA and sell them for high margins on the black market
- How to disguise McDonalds as fine cuisine for a first date
- Much, much more
Now, I know some of you may be a little upset. You probably have a lot of questions.
“Maneesh, I loved all your advice on habit formation and travel hacking — what am I supposed to do now?”
“Oh, God. No. Is this the end? Don’t play with my emotions. PLEASE tell us you have more to share.”
You know I’d never disappoint you. In fact, I’m opening up an entire suite of new courses. I really hope you enjoy them.
Readers from all over the world have been begging me to tell them more about my sandwich selection process. In fact, after my article on how to get a sandwich named after you went viral, I go inundated with requests to turn my knowledge into a full course.
Well, foccacia faces, here’s your chance.
Making the perfect sandwich can be overwhelming — and let’s face it, many of us need our hands held with these types of life-altering decisions.
Rye, sourdough or cracked wheat?
Bologna, hard salami or honey maple turkey?
You shouldn’t have to face these tough obstacles alone.
This course is going to be incredible. I can’t reveal all the details yet, but I can share some of the features with you:
- 127 modules on meat/cheese pairings — including the special “When To Use Mayonnaise” cheat sheet
- Over 93 hours of in-depth interviews with sandwich experts — in full HD video
- My rock-solid 17 minute guarantee — make your first dream sandwich in the first 17 minutes or your money back
Now, life isn’t all about sandwiches. And at a certain point, you’ll run out of money crafting all these deliciously expensive artisan snacks.
But what if I told you that I was working on a new master-course in making just enough money to feed yourself?
Would you believe me?
Introducing…
This new course is even more powerful than “Find Your Dream Sandwich,” and readers have been begging me to tell teach them how to make real money. Your wish is my command.
I’m putting together even more courses like this — what would you like to see me work on next, as I transition away from Hack The System FOREVER?
Let me know in the comments.
oh yeah…..
one more thing….

I was sad, but as I kept reading, i realized what you were upto
lolz
Rock On………..Great one!
Damn, you got me… I knew it was April Fools, I knew people were playing April Fool’s jokes all over the Internet.. And I knew nothing I read could be trusted at least on this day.
But… you still got me.. in my inbox!! Didn’t realize until I read the post. Good one!
Well played sir!!! (Mind you the sadwich course could have legs…)
Oh you clever devil you
If it had not been for the comments, I still wouldn’t understand! You always come out with such great stuff to make me laugh that I never realized it was even April Fools day.
Australia is 20ish hours in front, I knew it already :p
Damn!!, So your not going then, I was looking forward to some phoenix rising from the ashes shit, but i guess the fires still burning haha!!
This is THE BEST post I’ve read in 2014. Nice job Maneesh, now give my my dream sandwich!!!
Love the perversion of Ramit’s content! Well played Sir, well played!
I dont understand deeeezz u hurt my feelings , I is going to knocking my head on wall untill I dieee …. then I knock some more til wall fall down… noooo i want hack system I is sooo sad lolllzzz
Haha! That was great.
Even though it’s a joke, I feel that this message is very relevant today.
Bro, not even trying to kiss your ass, but this was the funniest April Fool’s I’ve seen all day! Bust out laughing quite a few times hahaha
Oh my god, you bastard. I was literally freaking out until I saw the butchered version of Ramit’s book (and other products), then I remembered what day it was. Aaah!
Anyway, thank you so much for sticking around and continuing to put out great content. You’re the best!
You, f*cker.
Yup, I bit too. Was actually excited about the book. Well done, Maneesh.
I thought it was quite creative; Definitely gave me a laugh. All the grumps aside, it’s good to see some positive humor. Thank you, Maneesh.
I think I’m cracking up more at some people’s responses than I did about the original post! Great stuff!
I actually believed the headline because I know you’ve been focusing on your startup. Then I read the post. Hilarious stuff. Well done.
You rock! Thanx for the smile!
I was so slow! I was too busy pondering if selling adopted pets on the black market was ethical. *ahem* Then I was like….ooooooh hahaha!
we’ll played, my friend 🙂
Wow, it took me way to long to realize this is an April fools…. I would love a sandwich course, actually!
Good one! April Fools!! 🙂
I was so looking forward to having a sandwich named after me…. RickRoll’d indeed, lmao!!!
You still can! I wrote a legitimate article about how to do it: http://riskology.co/how-to-get-a-sandwich-named-after-you/
At first I thought it was legit. Then I saw the book cover and I thought… maybe he’s just using his brother’s book as a baseline (but obviously he’s going to redesign it).
Then things just kept getting more and more weird and I started thinking, ok now this is freakin’ strange.
Great gag dude… you had me… until you got super weird LOL
“How to adopt pets from the ASPCA and sell them for high margins on the black market”!! LOL!!!!!!!!!
Well played! Happy April Fool’s all!
Genius!
“How to adopt pets from the ASPCA and sell them for high margins on the black market”
Really a-hole? – you’re a bonafide scumbag. Please die with the next breath you take!
Dude, it’s april fools. Chill out.
I am ashamed to say that you totally got me. Though, it may have something to do with the fact that I was unaware of today’s date.
Well played!
Wow.
Oh $#*! I fell for it. Sunnab@$.
Well played.
Glad it was a joke.
Why do people who love animals hate people and have no sense of humor?
Your email only reminds me that today is 1st of April : )
I knew this was an April Fools the minute I saw the email subject, but the blatantly stolen Ramit book cover had me howling with laughter. That’s pretty good..
Hahaha I was like what!?!? Common man I just started following a little while ago! 🙁 lol Touche…
Funny! I’m sick as a dog and medicated, so I fell for it. LOL
Completely fell for it. I love the Brother rivalry.
“The step-by-step strategies for cutting in line at the supermarket” ?!? I’m new, and maybe that’s your attempt at humour, but seriously….
I desperately need to earn $17.50 on the side. Take my money!
hahahaha, I was reading along thinking, “OK, I guess he’s ready to move on.” I got to the cover of your book and thought, “Ick, not another 6 week program. C’mon, Maneesh.” Then I got to the first hack–how to skip ahead in line, and started laughing so hard the neighbors were wondering. Ya got me. Thanks for a good belly laugh. Enjoy the day. 🙂
Hahahahahahaha; well done, Surrogate Asian Parent.
The order of my initial thoughts was:
1) Oh no … will there be accessible archives!?
2) This is rather cheeky … I wonder if Ramit will respond with anger or laughter …
3) Hmmm … I wonder what NPR’s joke is going to be today. (I remember when they ran a story all day that NPR had been purchased by Rupert Murdoch)
4) Well … now that I recognize that Maneesh *could* actually disappear … what are the ways I might like to run my life differently, in recognition of that possibility …
5) I’m really glad he’s still around … for now, at least. (And now it’s up to me to use every precious moment of life as wisely as I can manage to)
🙂
Happy April Fools Day to you too!!!
Well played, Maneesh. Happy April Fool’s Day!
Happy April Fools Day!
haha, you gave me a good laugh this morning 🙂 thanks!
April 1st = don’t believe anything you read online 😛
I read it and do not believe it
After so long of tracking HTS. Maneesh Anyway, things are always evolving, I hope that this change is best for everyone and those who take a course.
Congratulations!
Tony
MEXICO
hahaha read the post dude
You had me going until the ‘I Will Hack You To Be Rich’ cover.
It’s only 9:18 for me so lots of day left but best April Fools Prank I’ve seen so far today.
seriously? what is the point of this stupidity — not humor i’m guessing
And what was the point of your insightful comment, exactly? 🙂
This is hilarious. Well done!
GUYS.
This is an April Fools joke. SMH.
You didn’t get to me Maneesh. The give away was, “I Will Hack You To Be Rich” and then Ramit’s website “iwillteachyoutoberich.com” haha
Good joke.
Watch it with the meat and cheese combos, buddy – we’re kosher!
You just lost a subscriber. Grow up.
you’re going to have a really bad day if you can’t take april fool’s jokes. don’t leave your bed today, buddy.
Great April Fools Prank! It was the laugh I needed this morning, things were getting toooo serious!
April Fools Day!
Brilliant!
Poisson D’Avril!
What the Hack? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 🙁
Damn, took me a bit….early morning confusion :P:P:P
Hahahaha nice one.
Don’t forget to launch Zero to Lunch!
hahaha. Can’t wait for the new course “Zero toLasagne.” I hear its a game changer.
Hey…I would gladly purchase the Dream Sandwich product. It can be very overwhelming. A craft that is tough to nail down. Maybe something on how to formulate a fine side salad as well? Another tricky one. Look forward to the new ventures Maneesh!
http://riskology.co/how-to-get-a-sandwich-named-after-you/
Hi Maneesh, many thanks for all of the great posts over the past years. I have really enjoyed them! I would love more info on your book and where I can follow your work! Hit me up
UNsubscribe please
I honestly thought you were going to give up Hack the habit when I started reading the first few paragraphs. But soon realized that it is your way of making a fool out of your readers. Its a pretty good one actually. I expect you would have got hundreds of mails and comments asking you not to take such a drastic step. LOL.
Pesce d’aprile !
As one of your brother’s students this made me laugh a lot hahaha
“I will hack you to be rich” seems like a legit title for a computer security cookbook on carding, virtual scams, and real and proven scripts you can use to scam people on the internet every day.
Evil stuff – my heart stopped for a second. What a relief. Foccacia faces had me rolling 🙂
HA!
Love the book cover!
You had me with the email you bollocks!
Oh you big jerk. You almost killed me… Hahaha nice one Maneesh!
