Forget the old concept of retirement and the rest of the deferred-life plan–there is no need to wait and every reason not to, especially in unpredictable economic times. Whether your dream is escaping the rat race, experiencing high-end world travel, earning a monthly five-figure income with zero management, or just living more and working less, The 4-Hour Workweek is the blueprint.
This step-by-step guide to luxury lifestyle design teaches:
•How Tim went from $40,000 per year and 80 hours per week to $40,000 per month and 4 hours per week
•How to outsource your life to overseas virtual assistants for $5 per hour and do whatever you want
•How blue-chip escape artists travel the world without quitting their jobs
•How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using the principles of a forgotten Italian economist
•How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and frequent “mini-retirements”
The new expanded edition of Tim Ferriss’ The 4-Hour Workweek includes:
•More than 50 practical tips and case studies from readers (including families) who have doubled income, overcome common sticking points, and reinvented themselves using the original book as a starting point
•Real-world templates you can copy for eliminating e-mail, negotiating with bosses and clients, or getting a private chef for less than $8 a meal
•How Lifestyle Design principles can be suited to unpredictable economic times
•The latest tools and tricks, as well as high-tech shortcuts, for living like a diplomator millionaire without being either
TIMOTHY FERRISS, serial entrepreneur and ultravagabond, has been featured in the New York Times, National Geographic Traveler, Maxim, and other media. He speaks six languages, runs a multinational firm from wireless locations worldwide, and has been a world-record holder in tango, a national champion in Chinese kickboxing, and an actor on a hit television series in Hong Kong. He is twenty-nine years old.

May 17, 2010: The first 100 pages seem like "Pie in the Sky" and that most people couldn't do what the author suggests. Then the more you read, the more "possible" it starts to become. By page 215 you are looking to talk with a friend about the possibilities! I am a retired Marine and not interested in world-wide travel, so the last part, while very informative, was not relevant to my goals. I was very impressed with his research on the various business services that are available from the Internet. I appreciated his personal observations regarding their abilities to deliver the service and/or product. He provides practical tips and warnings about Internet organizations and other countries that would not come to mind (until you were caught up in a problem). I believe that this book provides some real useful information for someone who is interested in starting up a small business or breaking away from a 9-5 job. But it is not for the faint-hearted. For this to work, you will have to let go of a lifetime of learned business patterns and rules. Even if you don't take the plunge, it is interesting to learn of those who have....and their success.

May 14, 2010: Before reading the 4-Hour Workweek life had become mundane and it seemed that the days had been turning into years with little focus on fulfillment versus just income.
This book woke me up to the possibilities of living an automated lifestyle that allows for time, location and financial freedom. If you have ever had the feeling of something shifting inside yourself in a positive way, this is what you can expect from this book. It is a wake up call about the way life can be.The 4-Hour Workweek details the author's experience in working a corporate job and how his life became a shell of what he wanted. The book explains how he branched out and created a business making over $40,000 per month (minimum) with no employees beyond himself. This freed him up to travel and run his business from his laptop from anywhere in the world.If you are looking for a book that will expand your limits of what is possible for your career and lifestyle, this is a book you definitely want to read.
