You have to be ready for what you're about to hear

A book that every work-a-holic should read

Would you consider the audio edition of The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich (Expanded and Updated) to be better than the print version?

I never picked up the print version of this book. With limited time on my hands it was ideal as an audio book. I will retain it for future reference and still need to go to the web site and look at the additional tools available.

Who was your favorite character and why?

No character stands out in my mind. I saw this book as an educational tool.

Have you listened to any of Ray Porter’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is a first listen for me with reference to Ray Porter. I felt Ray did an excellent job.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

Wow, there are so many! The main gift I have from this book is to value my time more and find ways to reduce wasting it.

Any additional comments?

Concept in this book is a challenge to implement in your life However, I am already seeing changes that are a huge benefit.
