The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
I just concluded reading Timothy Ferriss' "The Four Hour Workweek" and I'm so glad to have found a business books who's vision mirrors my own.
While I am not working just 4 hours per week, I am in a growth phase; launching new products, developing sites, etc. I am choosing to get this new stuff out there and to spend a bit more time working.
Were I to eliminate all that and just do the bare minimum, I could probably get away with about 8 hours/week.
"The Four Hour Workweek" has encouraged me to not only automate and outsource even more of my ongoing work, but also the new development stuff I'm doing too.
It gave me several ideas on tasks I *could* be outsourcing but am not, as well as confirmation that outsourcing and working less doesn't necessarily mean I don't deserve the money I'm making.
While the book is full of specific tricks, tactics and step-by-step plans to help you on your way to living as "New Rich," I found the mindset to be the most valuable asset for me (as a kick in the pants!).
I highly recommend this book to anyone tired of being tied down by any kind of responsibilites (work or personal) that they want to let go of and aren't quite sure how.

What bloggers are saying about Tim Ferriss
and the 4 Hour WorkWeek
October 09, 2008: Excellent book with very appropriate message especially in this day and age when most corporate employees are working 12-16 hours a day. Ferriss' main message is to live life outside of the office. Absolutely recommend this book.

A 4 hour work week sounds great. I have 3 kids so getting some sleep once in a while sounds nice and maybe even possible with a four hour work week.
Thanks.

I read this book a while ago, and while it would be very difficult for a person to implement all of the ideas, it's almost trivial to implement a few of the ideas. The idea of putting off email alone will free up hours and hours of your time.
The outsourcing to India is a bit of a stretch, but the idea of offloading work you're no good at is a great one. Finding a local accountant, or hiring a college student to do some graphic design work for you is a great use of a few dollars, and can help you focus on exactly what you are best at.

I randomly bought this book about two weeks ago - before having seen your lens. It's a phenomenal book, and an entertaining, funny read as well! I've already recommended it to some of my friends, and it gets into my personal Top 10 books! Glad you highlighted it with this lens - it certainly deserves it!
