I was on vacation in Japan when the first version of this was released. I downloaded it and listened to it while I was walking around Japan, riding the bullet train etc. I wondered if I could follow the steps in the book and pull it off so I could live here.

I was working in the US for a software company as a software developer, and I convinced my boss to let me work remotely in Japan. I used the techniques and methods exactly as they were in the book, and it worked!

I used the tools Tim recommended and was able to do the same work remotely as if I were in the office. My office extension forwarded to my Skype number, and many of my customers never even knew they were talking to me in Japan.

I did that for 2 years, and recently quit to start my own software business here in Japan. The future looks bright, and I am living my life as I want it. I would not have been able to do it without the book.

This is a great book. However they used a computer voice instead of an actual person. Didnt like the way this audio book sounded.

Read the negative reviews on Amazon. I'd bet a significant % of the good reviews are paid for.

I became very bored after the third or fourth chapter. Definitely one of those books I couldn't wait to be through with.

I have a bit of a different outlook on business than the author, but I definitely learned a lot of new things and have changed my business to apply some of the things I learned. This book was worth the money.

Still, this book was not as good as "The E-Myth Revisited." That was easily the best business book I've ever read, and I've read a lot....

...who thinks this guy is a total [insert expletive here] who cheats his way through life? Please, someone say that I'm not!

This book is great because if might make you realize how your life plans might be outdated and flawed. It might throw light on areas that maybe you thought made some sense (such as the question "do I really need to work this hard?"). The ideas are not new, but the way Tim Ferriss puts them together and presents them, makes you get excited about the possibilities. A warning, though, you have to get past the style of the author, and ignore what might seem like constant bragging. Just listen to the entire book and take what applies to your life.

Outstanding. Have listened to it four times over the past year. Incredibly inspiring for any entrepreneur. Can't recommend it enough.

I really enjoyed listening to this audio book. It changed the way i look at my life. He teaches how to utilize technology to free time and spend it doing the things that you love. He gives you ideas. Automation.
I totally recommend it. He has some valuable resources in this book that you can use right away.

This audio book has opened my eyes in ways I never would have imagined. After listening to it more than a dozen times, I visited my local bookstore and purchased the hard cover book as well, because of all of the invaluable references tools. This audio book is very well researched, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their life by actually having enough time to enjoy it.
