Review: The 4 Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss
Generally I’m an optimist and so I was when I received and started to read The 4 Hour Workweek. And I was not disappointed.
Tim, who is 29, deals in tech and neuroproducts, has great aspirations and a lot to show for. I can relate to him in many ways. This made reading this book very interesting and enjoyable.
He breaks the book down into four sections:
- Definition – this is where he defines what already exists, what the reality is and what the future holds.
- Elimination – in this section Tim shows you how to eliminate what is not needed in your life (and there’s a lot), and how to get rid of it
- Automation – How to put the mundane and uninteresting tasks and projects on autopilot and let them take care of themselves while you sail away into the sunset, literally.
- Liberation – Liberation from work-for-work and developing to become the New Rich
Although, this is a very short summary of what Tim talks about, I would recommend anybody with an open mind read it. Especially the young, hungry people, for them it’s a requirement.

Hi Andre. I read the book recently, too, and loved it. The individual ideas are mostly not unique, but I found the overall philosophy to be intriguing. I wonder how many people will be able to do something with this information and change their lives…

Ray, I’m thinking of writing a full series on how somebody can put some of what is in the book into practice.
