This is a must read, or listen!

The narrator was very easy to listen to. The information in this book definitely puts the "work harder" perspective right out of the window. I'm reevaluating how I use my time and try to work smarter. I also want to automate as much as possible, so that I can start living again.

I am on my way to the 4hour lifestyle

This book was a huge eye opener for me, and a book I have gone back to many times. Although I failed my first attempt, I'm am now getting closer to this lifestyle every day. And at least I have a time schedule, and know the steps.

Life changing

What made the experience of listening to The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich (Expanded and Updated) the most enjoyable?

You would think we are all trapped in the same rat race until Tim Ferriss shows the way out.

Breathtaking, life changing - if you dare!

I've been listening and re-listening to this audio book the entire month - some parts make me say 'aha!', some parts make me flinch, some parts make me tremble - Tim is daring me to 'see the light' and make positive, life altering changes, and yet provides some astonishing tools and insights to do so. All of it is seismic, but for me, the real testimonials of many who have taken Tim's challenge and lived to tell the tale are twisting my gut right now - 'maybe I CAN do it! Thanks Tim, for blazing the trail and leaving a path with clues and signposts to follow...

Also, a quick shout out to the voice, who did a surprisingly great job in reading the words and bringing the book to audio life.

The most transformative book I've ever read!

It has great advice on career and personal life. It's filled with great resources to make the dream come true. For all tense and purposes it is a roadmap to a better life. it's not fluff like most books in the genre.

coming from a 25 year old entrepreneur... loved it

coming from a 25 year old entrepreneur or so I call myself I loved it. actually used to not like books at all until I found this Audible app. this book actually made me laugh multiple times which is very hard to do. not to throw a pity party but I'm actually a recovering heroin addict and this book gave me hope for a better life. Five stars across the board and Encore.
