Will Change Your Life If You Act On It!
What did you love best about The 4-Hour Work Week?
Timothy Ferriss has a simple yet supremely powerful way of approaching life that leaves no doubt that working 40-100 hours a week for someone else will only ruin you.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The 4-Hour Work Week?
Each chapter has unique steps and thought-provoking questions to drag you kicking a screaming out of your cave and into the light, where you can examine yourself and realise where you can improve and / or take action.
Have you listened to any of Ray Porter’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I haven't listened to Ray Porter before, but he speaks this book very well - it sounds as if Timothy Ferriss is actually talking to me!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Joining the New Rich is easier than you think!

Inspriational!
Warning! Do not read if you are not prepared to take some action... if you do then you will find that the situations that used to be quite bearable suddenly become less so. All of a sudden you will be able to see more...
This is a fabulous book filled with some great ideas. The narration is good though sometimes the list of websites/resources does become a little repetitive. Whilst these lists make sense in the hard copy, in audiobook form they are less useful.
However you won't be disappointed with this book and it will take you to new places...

Overrated
I must say I fell for this audio book as it sounded ideal to me; Though, even with giving it 1 star this book is considered overrated. There is no such thing as a 4 hour week for the general populace as much as I would have liked it to be so. What is the point of fantasizing about something that is not going to be achievable. If it is for entertainment purposes that you are thinking of getting this audiobook then by all means get it, it sure beats boredom! Enjoy life!

The best self help book I have read
Forget about piling millions of useless cash in the bank, that is sooo last year. The new rich are having all the fun and don't need millions to do so. This is an entertaining and highly recommended guide book on how to escape the rat race realise we are not slaves to anyone.

Pretty tedious
Need to wade through A LOT of self promotion and examples of people who are living the NR life (not necessarily accompanied by info on how they got there) in order to get small snippets of practical advice. Rinse, Repeat. I already bought the book dude, no need to keep selling it. This made it pretty boring, at least in audio book format where you're less likely to be able to skip the guff and find the good bits.

Full of URL read outs, waste of time.
The content is ok however it's full of readout to useless website and affiliate links. I estimate at least a few hours of the audio is dedicate to this pointless information. It would be nice if the skipped it and/or just included a chapter at the end or appendix.

Not good as an Audio book
While I believe this is an excellent book, because so much of it is referencing charts, tables and web sites, it does not work as an audio book

One of poorest best rated books I have ever seen
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Nothing. At the core of it is me me me. If everyone behaved like the author, God help us. It's basically outsource, outsource, outsource.

Worth the reminder, not to be swallowed whole
Timothy Ferriss is one of those people who challenge the established wisdom and for that I read him with interest. I was taken with his prescription for taking control of your working life and how to be more efficient in what you do to enable a more creative and exciting life. I have a lot to learn here - especially around using automation of computer tasks and processes more effectively. I was quite repulsed by his recommendation to access cheap labour in India etc - surely the message is 'don't get caught up doing menial repetitive and unnecessary tasks yourself - get someone who is willing to be paid slave rates to do it for you!'. This criticism is the primary reason for the 'three points' score I have given it as it is such a pivotal ingredient in his recipe for success.

Self indulgent view on life
I only made it half way through this book. It basically teaches that you are more important than everyone else and that your time is wasted if it is spent any way other than satisfying your own needs. Not really my cup of tea.

Recommend a printed version
May not suit the readers who prefer values over money. Lot of talk about outsourcing which is off putting at times. There are a few useful tips for improving general productivity and thought process. A number of websites listed in the book which could be handy references. If you are considering this book, buy a printed version rather than this audiobook as a significant portion is spent for reading out web URLs which is annoying when you are listening. I’m returning it and will consider getting a text version.

Eyeopening
simple ideas but many counterintuitive thinking. will definitely adopt some practices. Some ideas to get out of the office felt like manipulation.

not the greatest
I found this book to be quite average. There were some small packets of useful information which is why I gave a 2nd star. The book is full of information that is only relevant for people in very specific situations and for those people, the book could just be summarised with 2 words, "outsource everything". Some of the advice is just plain bad regarding money. An example is with buyers remorse on property investment. It is suggested that it is better to not shop around because that way you won't have any regret about not buying a different house.
Clearly this book is just a money grab. Don't waste your money on this book.
