By: Timothy Ferriss

Narrated by: Ray Porter

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.

Critic reviews

"It's about time this book was written. It is a long-overdue manifesto for the mobile lifestyle, and Tim Ferriss is the ideal ambassador. This will be huge." (Jack Canfield)

Tough to listen to since there are many recommendations for external resources

I'd recommend actually buying the physical book for this reason. It will be easier to follow.

solid overall

reader is solid. without having the text in front of me, it is hard to follow sometimes when it jumps from citing sources to the authors point and back.

Fantastic

Life changing advise and the way to implement it all step by step. CANNOT wait to start decreasing my work hours and increasing my productivity and profit!

Quite an eye-opener!

This is really a must read for anyone who has considered there could be a better working life out there, or someone who needs to consider this. There is a lot to think about in this book, it's a challenging work in the best way.

Not Expected

This book isn’t what I expected, I thought it would be full of useful tips to be more efficient, and it did have those, unfortunately they were between financial ventures he suggests you can take. If you are looking for ideas on side businesses, this is for you, otherwise you will wade through that to get the tips that everyone should implement.

Great Book, But you have to USE it

What did you love best about The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich (Expanded and Updated)?

Really enjoyed the methods described, very detailed road map. I got lost in the inspiring stories, because I was already psyched (4-hour Work Week is a great title for a book), and then had to tune back in for the nuts and bolts of how they made it happen. Lessons are valuable. It can even change your life while you maintain a steady 40 hour/week job, but show you how to shuffle your life to make efficient.
