Editorial Review: Product Description: Tim Ferriss is an extraordinary young man on a mission. The twenty-eight-year-old serial vagabond and successful entrepreneur has been teaching a wildly popular course at Princeton University for the past four years--a how-to and why-to guide to throwing out the old tools and methods for success (balancing life and work, retiring well, having a great nest egg) and replacing them with a whole new way of living. Readers can lead a rich life by working only four hours a week, freeing up the rest of their time to spend it living the lives they want. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Fantastic ReadThe brilliance in this book stems largely from the macro concepts it addresses. Despite its initial appearance, this book shouldn't be used as a step by step, how to guide. It's most useful as a - wake up and smell the roses - sort of mental jumpstart. Rating:  - Mind expanding, paradigm breakerI purchaced this book because I was preparing a presentation about time management. It almost messed up my presentation, because it messed up my brain. I tell you, It can actually be done. Work only 4 hours a week. But you have to do a complete reformat of your brain. The concept of taks elimination and putting yourself out of the equation to avoid bottlenecks is super. I am not quite there jet, but, now I work less and make more. I definitelly recommend this book to weight ... Read More Rating: - Tim and the 4 Hour Work Week are BrilliantI was just looking at Twitter and for the first time I saw something remarkable: someone with lots of followers and is following no one. Tim Ferriss has 9,313 followers and is following absolutely no one. He does appear to post quite often, so I'm not sure how this figures in to his 4 hour work week, but his single-mindedness and focus is amazing. I don't quite understand the naysayers here. Do people really want to work more than 4 hours a week? 40 hours a week? 80 hours a week? For me, ... Read More Rating:  - Blatant LiesI must admit I was taken by the concept of "geoarbitrage". It just sounds cool, doesn't it? I thought the concept was quite interesting and eagerly purchased the book. After reading past the introduction, I realized I'd been conned. The author's first claim, on page 13, is that he is a "no holds barred cage fighter, vanquisher of four world champions". This is a lie. There are online databases (such as sherdog's fight finder or mma.tv's fighter database) that hold the fight records of ... Read More Rating: - For Heartless Corporate-Drones onlyI read about this book in an in-flight magazine and thought it very much embodied my view of life: Don't delay your happiness or gratification until retirement. Seize the day and live it up now! However, I was terribly disappointed. First of all, definitely heed the Warning printed on the back of the book. I didn't even notice the warning until it was too late. But there it was the whole time: "WARNING: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK UNLESS YOU WANT TO QUIT YOUR JOB" I'm willing to ...
