Publisher's summary

Forget the old concepts of retirement and a deferred life plan. There is no need to wait and every reason not to, especially in unpredictable economic times. For living more and working less, this book is the blueprint.

This expanded edition includes dozens of practical tips and case studies from people who have doubled their income, overcome common sticking points, and reinvented themselves using the original book. Also included are templates for eliminating email and negotiating with bosses and clients, how to apply lifestyle principles in unpredictable economic times, and the latest tools, tricks, and shortcuts for living like a diplomat or millionaire without being either.

great book

I really found the lifestyle he talks about to be one I want to be able to pursue one day. Although I am so young (18) I found alot of his info to be useful. maybe not at the moment but I won't forget to incorporate his lessons in the future.

great detail but

this book seemed to jump around quite a bit, alluding to the fact that maybe it is actually worth purchasing this one hard copy. a lot of the facts, I'm sure, are great for someone who is not working for the government. because the government still operates on a very old model of 9 to 5, with meetings being the priority, I believe you would be hard-pressed to be able to apply hardly any of the work from home, or work remotely techniques when the establishment is still stuck in the 20th century
