Cool book

Great book to expand the horizons on the possibilities and think broadly. I could read it in a few months, I needed time to digest between the chapters.

Will get you thinking!

Entire concept does not apply to me, but the advice in here is still highly valuable. Mr. Ferris has me questioning my life and my personal processes. I am excited for what could happen next.

Great book - a little dated - still great

This is a little dated (it was however written in 2006) but the principals are solid. Ironically, his book isn't necessarily about working 4 hours / week but rather figuring out what's important in your life and prioritizing everything else around that. Some great principals - even though much of the technology and "tips" are long outdated. Definitely read.

Awesome Efficiencies

I didn't go into this with a literal expectation of working that much. As expected, he offered tons of efficiencies and a mindset that I can embrace to increase productivity while gaining more spare time.
