Review: The 4 Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss

4-hour-workweek.jpgGenerally 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:

  1. Definition – this is where he defines what already exists, what the reality is and what the future holds.
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
