Product Description:
What do you do? 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.

This book has changed my working life. Even though I love running my own business it was taking up a lot of time away from my family. This book helped me to review my work processes and vastly reduce my number of work hours and at the same time increasing my the output I got from those hours.
This has also become a great reference book, when I feel my work hours are creeping up I read certain sections to regain my focus.

I like the book and it is worth the money.
But there is a but...
The 4-hour workweek. Would not we all like to have it like that!
I can not read it without getting a feeling that the authors way to his own 4-hour week is making money by living on others dream of a no work and earning money. The book does not come up with any not earlier written subjects but still it is quite entertaining and some real tips to your lifestyle design can be found.

A lot of people criticize this book based on the title and the author's seemingly over the top claims of free money and a life of leisure interrupted by short bursts of activity that just can't be avoided. Some people ask "Who will be working if everyone only worked for four hours week?". It all depends on how you define 'WORK'.
In Ferris's world, 'WORK' is whatever you don't want to do. Maybe what you do for fun is work to someone else and what you think of as work is fun to someone ... Read More

I'll keep this short. Great book. First half: setting the mindset. Second half: a wealth of practical tips and resources.
This book opens up a whole new range of possibilities.
It's a must buy.
