Warning: Do not read this book unless you want to quit your job. This is what is stated on the back cover of Timothy Ferriss‘ book titled The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
Whether you become fully convinced that you only have to work 4-hours per week to survive or not, this book is full of excellent ideas and resources that will inspire you to follow your passions. It helped me to broaden my thinking on what is possible. Ferriss shares ideas on how to define what you really want, eliminate all the non-essential stuff that is holding you back, automate and outsource much of your life, and then how to live with yourself once you have more free time than you ever imagined possible.
Beyond the book, Ferriss also offers a companion website where you can obtain bonus material, excerpts, and a free video if you are willing to enter your e-mail address. You can also find some interesting resources on the site including some motivational statistics, a lifestyle quotient calculator, and a round-the-world trip planner. Ferriss also has a blog site which is subtitled “Experiments in Lifestyle Design”, where he publishes articles that support the ideas in his book.

Hey Jeff,
Nice blog you have! Looks like you have a clean design and you have done a good job reviewing the 4 Hour Workweek. I can tell because now I want to read it
Better yet, sounds like I want to live it!
I once worked as a manager of a store in Wilmington, NC. When I took over that store I was working 104 hours per week to get it in shape. Thankfully that only lasted about 4 weeks, but man it was tough.
