Westbeach<\/strong><\/a> (and more famously\u00a0Lululemon<\/strong><\/a>) founder Chip Wilson<\/strong>\u00a0has posted his latest creative endeavor online at his new site Whil.com<\/strong><\/a>. The site is Chip and his wife Shannon’s “global conversation about the power of accessible and everyday meditation.” Or as Chip explains it: “Meditation \u2013 specifically the 60-second meditation we prescribe with Whil \u2013 is about avoiding technological burnout by \u201cgetting present,\u201d being mindful and living in the moment.”<\/p>\n

Apparently, being worth $2.9 billion<\/strong><\/a> gives one the time (and reason) to reflect a little and, you know, get centered. It also likely gives one the narcissistic impetus to write an autobiography. And that is exactly what Chip has posted. It’s the story of Lululemon as told by Chip and it’s titled\u00a040,000 Days And Then You’re Dead<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

40,000 Days<\/em> (or however many days you have left after signing in) is an intimate, personal look into the life and business of a passionate entrepreneur. It is\u00a0well worth reading for anyone who has ever worn a Westbeach snow kit, or gazed spellbound at a tight, suburban, mom ass lightly poured into a pair of yoga pants. It’s also not a bad read for anyone whose ever wondered what it must be like to carry around a wallet the size of the Northwest Territories.<\/p>\n

And remember, Chip Wilson is not only one bad-ass swing dancer, he is also action sport’s single biggest success story EVER. Now\u00a0click the link<\/strong><\/a>, read the book, and get started on your first billion.<\/p>\n
