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.

Good...

Inspirational...Want to make it happen...Although sometime unrealistic. Although the virtual assistant thing is a must do for me.

Great Book!! Laugh out loud funny!!

Would you listen to The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich (Expanded and Updated) again? Why?

I have listened to 4 hour WW twice, and I am sure I will listen again.

What did you like best about this story?

Very easy to understand and HIGHLY motivational!!

What does Ray Porter bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Ray Porter is THE BEST narrator of any book Ive heard!! I will search out Ray to listen to him again!!

What did you learn from The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich (Expanded and Updated) that you would use in your daily life?

I've begun work on 2 ideas that have been mulling for years, this book is HIGHLY motivational.

Won't be the last time I listen to this book...

Reading this book when it first came out many years ago really changed my idea of what is possible in life!

Since then, just when I think I have taken it all in, I freshen up with another listen - and make many new breakthroughs each time!

This isn't just a recommended read, it should be compulsory for anyone who thinks that there is a small chance that their life could be a bit (or, in most peoples cases, a WHOLE LOT) better!!

Read it today, and start making changes!!

The best Entrepreneur Book I have Ever Read

Practical solutions to creating a lifestyle that you desire. It is funny, inspiring, and it actually teaches you things that you NEED to know that aren't common sense.

Absolutely worth the time.

Absolutely worth the time. May have to listen to it again, recommend having a notepad ready.
