One of My Favorite Books of All Time, Nov. 27 2007
As the author of the international bestseller "The Joy of Not Working" (over 225,000 copies sold) and "How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free" (over 75,000 copies sold) I follow the principles in my books. Indeed, I have a great lifestyle. I work only 4 to 5 hours a day and make a comfortable living. In my books I advocate that people leave corporate life as soon as possible and work less than half the hours of the average working stiff.
I always considered that the paradigm that I operate with is much different than that of the average working person. But after reading "The 4-Hour Workweek", I realize that my paradigm is much closer to that of the average working person than that of Tim Ferris. I now want to operate closer to the level of Tim Ferris.
I love this book. I disagree with most of the negative comments made by certain reviewers. There is a lot of valuable material in this classic that we all can use although we may never get to the point of working only 4 hours a week. We may be able to work only two hours a day, however, and still make a great living.
Some of the most important principles in this book are:
1. Get unrealistic.
2. Practice the art of nonfinishing.
3. Cultivate selective ignorance.
4. Do not multi-task.
5. Outsource as much of your life as you can.
6. Being busy is a form of laziness - lazy thinking and indiscriminate action.
7. Forget about time management.
This book is written for ordinary people who want to accomplish extraordinary things with minimal time involved.
Here are five of several favorite quotes from "The 4-Hour Workweek" that I intend to place on The Joy of Not Working Website ( www.thejoyofnotworking.com )
1. If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too. Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.
2. The blind quest for cash is a fool's errand.
3. It's lonely at the top. Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre. The level of competition is thus fiercest for "realistic" goals, paradoxically making them the most time-consuming and energy consuming. It is easier to raise $10,000,000 than it is $1,000,000. It is easier to pick up the one perfect 10 in the bar than the five 8s.
4. The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone is aiming for base hits.
5. Tens of thousands of people, most of them less capable than you, leave their jobs every day. It's neither uncommon nor fatal.
In short, "The 4-Hour Workweek" can set you on a new course in life where you have a lot more leisure time and a lot more money at the same time. In fact, the material in this book, as in Richard Koch's "Living the 80/20 Way", can be much more valuable than an MBA if you would like to get what you want out of life without killing yourself for it.
But you will have to take risks and give up some of your most treasured beliefs. No doubt most people will read "The 4-Hour Workweek" and not consider making any major changes to get out of their stale, boring jobs. As Timothy Ferris states, "Pure hell forces action, but anything less can be endured with enough clever rationalization."
If you would like to be one of the few who enjoy a life filled with a lot of freedom and leisure, however, then read this book and adopt the principles that resonate with you. Follow these principles religiously and your life will likely change dramatically for the better.

Don't read unless you want to quit your job, Oct. 19 2009
This book is a very entertaining read that will open your mind to the infinite possibilities that joining the "New Rich" holds.
I'm sure it's the catalyst for many unhappily employed people leaving their jobs in search of time freedom.
If you're ready to leave your job and just looking for that extra little push, and some reassurance that everything is going to be alright, then this is definitely the book for you.

Mind Changing, therefore Life Changing..., Sep 16 2009
Length:: 1:39 Mins
This book blew my mind when I read it. I subsequently quit my job and started my own business (that was 2 years ago). Highly recommended.

Scandalous or Stimulating? You Decide!, Mai 28 2009
Who it's for: If you truly love your job or your office is a "home away from home", then this book is not for you. But if you want to get inspired to work less or find a way to inject some well-deserved adventure into your life then get reading!
Despite the many criticisms that could be levelled at it, this book makes it mark by giving us a new definition of wealth: The "New Rich" focus on happiness and enjoyment now rather than waiting to retire, whereas "Deferrers" work their way up organizations, collect status symbols and wait to retire (or die). Which are you?
I skim-read the (personally rather tedious) sections on running an online business and Google adwords. And while amused by the occasional teenage-boy commentary (like suggesting you ask your foreign virtual assistant to harrass your boss in a funny accent) it won't be to everyone's taste. Some will even find his suggestions unethical.
Be that as it may, this book will both challenge the way you think AND get you thinking about how to make your life easier and more exciting. For me, that in itself means it's worth a read! Enjoy!

Works Brilliantly!, Avril 3 2009
I followed the instructions in this book and now have a business brining in $2500 per month working from home. Everything is automated. Other than updating some online ads occasionally, and answering the occasional email I rarely need to touch it.
So far I'm working about an hour a week on it. This system is brilliant!
Next I'm going to set up a 2nd business using exactly the same principles and I'm hoping that I can have $5k a month coming in by the end of the year.
At that point I'm off to NZ for 6 months. It's great. I can work from anywhere.
The book is genius. I'm free!

Great book, Aoû 24 2007
I say great, because it is a great book. Anyone who wants to make money online, to travel, and to do things NOW versus waiting until they are too old to enjoy it should read this book. Another excellent book that I read last year with a very similar focus is called Stop Working by Rohan Hall. These book are innovative. They challenge the way I have always thought about work, wealth, and retirement. They are about having an excellent lifestyle. Both books are highly recommended.

Freedom, Sep 22 2007
It's about freedom. It's not really about getting wealthy. This book teaches you how to get closer to achieving freedom. I also recommend The System by Roy Valentine.
