Tim Ferriss has trouble answering the question. Depending on when you ask this controversial Princeton University guest lecturer, he might answer: “I race motorcycles in Europe.” “I ski in the Andes.” “I scuba dive in Panama.” “I dance tango in Buenos Aires.” He has spent more than five years learning the secrets of the New Rich, a fast-growing subculture who has abandoned the “deferred-life plan” and instead mastered the new currencies—time and mobility—to create luxury lifestyles in the here and now. Whether you are an overworked employee or an entrepreneur trapped in your own business, this book is the compass for a new and revolutionary world. Join Tim Ferriss as he teaches you: • How to outsource your life to overseas virtual assistants for $5 per hour and do whatever you want • How blue-chip escape artists travel the world without quitting their jobs • How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using the principles of a forgotten Italian economist • How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and freuent "mini-retirements" • What the crucial difference is between absolute and relative income • How to train your boss to value performance over presence, or kill your job (or company) if it’s beyond repair • What automated cash-flow “muses” are and how to create one in 2 to 4 weeks • How to cultivate selective ignorance—and create time—with a low-information diet • What the management secrets of Remote Control CEOs are • How to get free housing worldwide and airfare at 50–80% off • How to fill the void and create a meaningful life after removing work and the office You can have it all—really.

 Rating:  - Good ideas.. only if you had run your own business for a few years"Selling a dream" books usually sell well and I am not surprised this book sold well. Everyone wants to work less and earn more. Lose weight and look better.. etc. But let's get real by just examining the title. You will NOT work for 4 hours only, if you work for someone else. Unless you want to get paid for 4 hours worth of work only. This alone will eliminate most of the working force. You will NOT work for 4 hours if you just started a new business. You will pour sweat ... Read More Rating:  - Interesting..... might not be working hard but smart from here on in.Just read the book not only will it help you it will help you help others. I hope I can reach his status or maybe even his type of life. Rating: - The way we all should live our lives Tim Ferriss hits the nail on the head with his ideas and approach to living life. We all get into the habit of thinking we should work 8 hours a day and sleep 8 hours a day, folks.............thats two thirds or 66% of your life, sleeping and banging away at a computer in a tiny cramped little cubicle, its disgusting. Break the habit, break free and live the life you are supposed to be living, the life you can live. Find a niche business, start a little online company, follow Tims advice and ...

No response and/or action taken to date. Very disappointed with failure to communicate and would highly discourage use by others. Rating: - 4-Hour Work WeekI think I could write chapters about this book but I'll keep it short and to the point (Tim would like that); it has profoundly changed my life and lifestyle. I am deeply grateful for Ferris's work. Wow! |
