The Four Hour Work Week
The Four Hour Work Week
Jul 07
This isn’t the book that started it all for me, but definitely helped add a whole lot of steam to my engine. This is what got me off my butt and moving towards creating the lifestyle I always wanted and knew I could reach for.
In this book, Tim Ferriss will guide you through a mentality shift and show you how you can join the New Rich by seeing the world through different colored lenses. You will learn how to create the ultimate mobile/freedom-filled lifestyle and to break free of the deferred “work hard, save, retire when I’m old” lifestyle.

From my recent visit to Egypt where I had the awesome opportunity to ride camels and race (in the back of) some kind of 4x4 jeep through the desert. For more pictures from my trip to Egypt, click this photo.
From Amazon:
Forget the old concept of retirement and the rest of the deferred-life plan–there is no need to wait and every reason not to, especially in unpredictable economic times. Whether your dream is escaping the rat race, experiencing high-end world travel, earning a monthly five-figure income with zero management, or just living more and working less, The 4-Hour Workweek is the blueprint.
This step-by-step guide to luxury lifestyle design teaches:
• How Tim went from $40,000 per year and 80 hours per week to $40,000 per month and 4 hours per week
• 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 frequent “mini-retirements”The new expanded edition of Tim Ferriss’ The 4-Hour Workweek includes:
• More than 50 practical tips and case studies from readers (including families) who have doubled income, overcome common sticking points, and reinvented themselves using the original book as a starting point
• Real-world templates you can copy for eliminating e-mail, negotiating with bosses and clients, or getting a private chef for less than $8 a meal
• How Lifestyle Design principles can be suited to unpredictable economic times
• The latest tools and tricks, as well as high-tech shortcuts, for living like a diplomat or millionaire without being either
For the many of you who have asked me how I’ve been able to travel so much, taking so many exotic trips, this book will introduce you to many principles I have used to make my dreams a reality. I HIGHLY recommend this book. Check it out!
