About this book

What do you do? Tim Ferriss has trouble answering the question. Depending on when you ask this controversial Princeton University guest lecturer, he might answer: "I race motorcycles in Europe." "I ski in the Andes." "I scuba dive in Panama." "I dance tango in Buenos Aires." He has spent more than five years learning the secrets of the New Rich, a fast-growing subculture who has abandoned the "deferred-life plan" and instead mastered the new currencies--time and mobility--to create luxury lifestyles in the here and now. Whether you are an overworked employee or an entrepreneur trapped in your own business, this book is the compass for a new and revolutionary world. Join Tim Ferriss as he teaches you: - 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 freuent "mini-retirements" - What the crucial difference is between absolute and relative income - How to train your boss to value performance over presence, or kill your job (or company) if it's beyond repair - What automated cash-flow "muses" are and how to create one in 2 to 4 weeks - How to cultivate selective ignorance--and create time--with a low-information diet - What the management secrets of Remote Control CEOs are - How to get free housing worldwide and airfare at 50-80% off - How to fill the void and create a meaningful life after removing work and the office You can have it all--really.

The 4-Hour Work Week

Escape the 9-5, Live Anywhere and Join the New Rich

Timothy Ferriss

Tim Ferriss is a 28-year-old serial vagabond, successful entrepreneur and lifestyle hustler who has been teaching a wildly popular course at Princeton University for the past several years upon which this book is based. In THE 4-HOUR WORK WEEK, Ferriss explores the epidemic of information, abuse and addiction that has left us overwhelmed and confused, and poorer for it, and asks us to rethink our lives. Ferriss is convinced that we can lead a rich life by working only 4 hours a week, freeing up the rest of our time to spend it living the lives we want. THE 4-HOUR WORK WEEK is not another book on the work-life balance describing the problems we all face. It is about creating solutions. Ferriss teaches you the tips and tricks of the 20/80 rule so you no longer have to wait to retire to enjoy fun, travel and adventure; shows you how to find your muse; replace your dreams with goals and how to 'add life' after subtracting work. So, take a step back and follow these principles: Definition: Define what you want to be doing. Elimination: Ask yourself three times a day 'am I being productive, or am I being busy?' Get rid of the noise and interruption. Automation: Delegate or automate the remaining tasks, even sending personal tasks overseas. Liberation: Enjoy your mobility and use the time you create.
