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.

 The way we all should live our lives July 6, 2008
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 start building an automated life. Working is the WORST way to make money. If you want free, and to earn a living, and possibly become independently wealthy, STOP what you are doing, figure out a way. It may take time to build up a side business and get it automated, but at some point you can stop working, have money coming in, be doing hardly anything, and have 35% of your life back to do with what you want. Read his book, over and over it, take notes, visit all the websites. Take 3 months and put all other books away, study his material 2-3 hours a day, and you will get there. Peace and good luck.
 The 4-Hour Workweek July 6, 2008
This order made 6/5/08 and has yet to be received one month later. I have sent emails to seller twice to request update and later to cancel order. No response and/or action taken to date. Very disappointed with failure to communicate and would highly discourage use by others.
4-Hour Work Week July 5, 2008
I 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!
Book for the shallow July 5, 2008
This book is great if you have no morals and no qualms over using others to achieve your ends. The article on outsourcing is sickening, especially if one is from that country. He's a con artist and is probably using his skills to sell this book as well.
A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS A POSITIVE CHANGE IN LIFE! July 4, 2008
The author creates an awareness within you and makes you reach out for creating and working on your goals in an approach which feels very achievable. I would recommend everyone to read this book. If not anything else, it at least helps to motivate you!
Once again, it is a must read!
