Publisher's Summary

Tim Ferriss is an extraordinary young man on a mission. The 28-year-old serial vagabond and successful entrepreneur has been teaching a wildly popular course at Princeton University for the past four years: a how-to and why-to guide to throwing out the old methods for success (balancing life and work, retiring well, having a great nest egg) and replacing them with an entirely new way of living.

The 4 Hour Work Week explains what a lifestyle entrepreneur is and why you should want to become one. It teaches you how to "kill" your job and design a life, the 80/20 rule and how it increases productivity, how to replace your dreams with goals, and more. Listeners can lead a rich life by working only four hours a week, freeing up the rest of their time to spend it living the lives they want.

What the Critics Say

"It's about time this book was written. It is a long-overdue manifesto for the mobile lifestyle, and Tim Ferriss is the ideal ambassador." (Jack Canfield)
"Thanks to Tim Ferriss, I have more time in my life to travel, spend time with family, and write book blurbs. This is a dazzling and highly useful work." (A.J. Jacobs, Editor-at-Large, Esquire)

By: Frank (Beaver Falls, PA, USA)

First, the book should have an R rating for the language and some statements within the book. It is not a book you want to listen to when your young kids/gkids are in the area.

I recommend the book with reservation for this main reason. I would have given it a 4 star if the language was 'tame'.

If the listener keeps this in mind, then there is a great chance they will be able to receive very valuable information that will help them in their pursuit of a balanced life.

I disagree with Tim's statement about only reading entertainment books or only the informational books like his or the few he states at the end of the book. Many individuals enjoy learning or need to retool their skills for their 'job' or craft.

Again, there are many valuable tips and quotes in the book which caused me to order a used copy of the printed edition for my library.

By: Manuel (Dickson, TN, USA)

This guy is funny. I love the way he looks at life. He mentions temporary retirements, which mean not waiting until your old and gray to retire but taking time off from work or between jobs. He encourages investing in i.r.a's but he says life it to short to work until retirement. I recommend it for entreprenuer minded individuals.

This book is fun to listen to. It may have some real out of this world ideas, can they be done, I don't know. It does provide food for tought. It has ideas that make you think of you own situation. Makes you consider the direction you may want to take.
Keep your mind open, this book is a good source of information for all.
