Yeah, I mentioned it in another thread and I'm currently about 3/4's way through it. I love it and I'd HIGHLY recommend it too.
I only grabbed it because I liked the title, a concept that I introduced to myself in my early 40's, only it was a 30Hr work week; ha, ha.
Try not to read the book from a defensive angle, but instead from an angle that you may be able to get something from it. We do tend to defend our life patterns, as I found myself thinking along the same lines while reading it; but the book has opened me up to many new and exciting conversations about business and lifestyle choices. Most of Tim's concepts are spot on imo.
If I can read a book and get one thing out of it, then I'm ecstatic! This book has given me many new concepts to think about and an awesome amount of info that I've learned too. Tim gives actual websites, quotes and contact info and substantiates everything he says. It is very well presented, imo again.
In fact, over our morning coffee today I asked my wife, "What would we be doing right now today if money was no object." She replied, "What do you mean no object, how much are you talkin about?" I said, " Ten Million cash in the bank." She said, "We'd be getting ready to take a ski run from our mountain side ski chalet I guess." ha, ha. And we WILL.......
LINK:
The 4-Hour Workweek and Timothy Ferriss for more info.
Definitely one of Rob's picks for 2010 must reads!
I also recommend Robert Kiyosaki's newest book, "Conspiracy of the Rich".... oooh, it's good
That will twist a few heads for sure!
As for our lifestyles; I believe 110% that it's Lifestyle by Design,
our design. We all get to choose what we want. If you look at something and say NO that wont happen, then NO it wont. If you look at something and say YES, then it will. I really appreciate authors like Tim Ferris and his book is outstanding. BTW, he was making $80K a month when he wrote it, so it wasn't just for the money imo.
Better get back to work......... ha, ha.
Enjoy the book, thanks for posting Martin.

I know it seems excessive, but I love to read and it's my "at home" reading season; I'm lucky if I read one book in the summer months at the cabin. Also the Dr. Dyer books are for my spiritual feed, which has taken on a personal taste that he satisfies for me very much; not necessarily for everyone though?
I also took a speed reading course about 20 years ago, which I'd recommend to everyone. Tim gives a speed read method in his book too btw.
Well as Sniper says.... Enough of me talking about me, why dont you talk about me for a while now? Ha, ha.
Sit down and design your life guys, it works!
