The Four Hour Work Week
Timothy Ferriss
The 4-Hour Workweek Summary
Forget the old
deferred life plan that has you working hard through the best of years
of your life only to retire at the end. There is no need to wait, and
every reason not to. 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, this book
is the blueprint.
In this step-by-step guide to
luxury lifestyle design, Tim Ferris explains how he went from working
80 hours per week for $40,000 per year to earning $40,000 per month in
just 4 hours per week, allowing him to travel the world and fulfill his
dreams, and how you can, too. The Four Hour Work Week Audio Book has been updated with more than 100 pages of new,
cutting-edge content, this revised edition offers new tools and tricks
for living like a millionaire vagabond, even in unpredictable economic
times. Added features include templates for eliminating email and
negotiating with bosses and clients, plus real case studies from readers
who have doubled their income and reinvented themselves by following
Tim's revolutionary paradigm.
