Must Read

Just buy it, thank yourself later. Absolutely insane that it took me this long to hear about it. I now have a new perspective on life.

A book that wakes you up

This book is great because if might make you realize how your life plans might be outdated and flawed.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.

Life-changer!

This book has the power to help you break free, if you let it. Even if you don't let it, Tim's ideas for liberation will be splinters in your mind nagging you to go for it! Highly recommend!

Only took me 8 hours... that's 2 full work weeks!

Interesting read. Love the ideas, not sure I have the courage to take the leap... maybe that's the next book I should read; "Courage to take the leap".

Tim Ferriss is the MAN!

This is perhaps one of the most impacting and life-changing book that I have ever read on pursuing your dreams, goals, and passions. Tim gives a very clear blueprint for designing your ideal lifestyle and the tips, tricks, and shortcuts that he provides are astounding. Perhaps the best 22 bucks I've ever spent. I've recommended it to everyone I know and many whom meet. If you're ready to get out of the Matrix, this book is for you.

Listening again and again

I had read some negative reviews of this book and had my doubts, but I found it very enjoyable to read, but most importantly, it gave me a whole bunch of new tools and strategies to use in my life. Except for family requirements (kids in school), I am someone who can take full advantage of the way Tim proposes we work. I have to listen again as it is well stocked with good advice. You kind of need to take notes as you listen and I did it almost entirely on my bike. His accompanying website is an awesome addition to the process. This is one of those books that has started to change my outlook and the way I manage my life. Much appreciated.
