The 4Hour Workweek Escape 95 Live Anywhere and Join the New Rich Timothy Ferriss 8601300188737 Books

I bought this book knowing full well that it could just be a bunch of hype and stuff recycled from a lot of other books that cater to the hapless cube dweller who is rotting away in a huge room of blabbering colleagues doing something that rots his or her very soul.

Well, I can say that this book gave me some ideas that I might not otherwise have thought of, or thought of too late. So, there's enough useful content for me to give it a solid four stars.

That said, we're not all in the same place in life. I didn't notice any mention whatsoever of children in this book. (Oops, there is mention of how to travel with them, but what I was trying to say was that this book wasn't written from a parents point of view. Some things you just can't outsource.) It came across as written by a single guy who, through a series of trial and error experiences, has struck it rich and is now sharing his secrets. Well, that's not so original, but the book is entertaining and fun to read. And, if you get just one great idea out of this book that leads to half the freedom that this book says you can have, it will be worth thousands of times the price you payed for it, so what's the problem?

My favorite aspect of this book, and why I beleive many would find it useful, is that it's a tribute to what information technology can do for the individual. In the past, a company might have many employees and many departments: a research department, a manufacturing department, a shipping department, customer service, marketing, etc.

Today, there are companies that specialize in business functions that traditionally used to be departments within companies. Now, the individual can contract to have something manufactured, have orders fulfilled, have the phone answered for customer service, and simply act as "traffic cop" occasionally (four hours a week?) to keep the network going. Our free market system is rapidly reorganizing itself, and the individual can benefit. Furthermore, the reader is given websites for companies that perform the very functions that the author mentions.

Finally, some may be disillusioned because they can't do everything in this book at once. Probably few can, but there is a place to start, and I've unwittingly started myself even before I read the book, and I'm a sole breadwinner with two small children. So, if I can even start, perhaps if I focus I could do a lot more.

So, it's a fun book that can change your life, and my four mintues is up.

The 4Hour Workweek Escape 95 Live Anywhere and Join the New Rich Timothy Ferriss 8601300188737 Books Reviews

The author attempts to promote his working lifestyle for the reader broken down in four steps. I have to start by sayings this book is written at a very low reading level and a lot of needless filler.

The author breaks it down in four steps D E A and L
D is for definition and is probably the only part of the book of any substance. If you’re under 23, naive, and never stand up for self you might get something out of it. It’s mostly work mindset a lot of people have developed over a year or so in the work world.

E is elimination which is his time management section. Honestly there is some good advice , however,there are way better books on the topic. He advocates the low information diet which basically being willfully ignorant.

A is for automation. In this section he advocates for first automating/ outsourcing as much in your life as you can to save time and money.

But the main focus is setting up a business online that sells things of little value very overpriced and attempting to automate that. Having worked in online marketing, I can tell you the information here is outdated, vague, and not very thorough. If you want to set up a business online I would recommend reading a different book. He also advocates calling yourself an expert and teaching courses on topics you have no authority in. Ultimately, this is where the book falls apart as this is his central way to live the four hour work week, which if you take a look at his own life he isn’t living that way.

For L is for liberation and I took his low information diet and stopped reading.

Conclusion this book is for naive, weak, dummies who hate their jobs and will take any terrible advice to give them hope. Ultimately this book is like his own online business which sold a product of little value he wasn’t an expert in. Which is what this book is.
