Editorial Review: Product Description: Tim Ferriss is an extraordinary young man on a mission. The twenty-eight-year-old serial vagabond and successful entrepreneur has been teaching a wildly popular course at Princeton University for the past four years--a how-to and why-to guide to throwing out the old tools and methods for success (balancing life and work, retiring well, having a great nest egg) and replacing them with a whole new way of living. Readers can lead a rich life by working only four hours a week, freeing up the rest of their time to spend it living the lives they want. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Overall tricky and a let downI lost my faith in the author only a few pages into the book. He grabbed my attention early on by saying he became the National Chinese kickboxing champion with only 4 weeks of preparation. I assumed this meant that he must have amazing ability and be able to learn new skills very fast. Being an athlete myself, I was impressed and wanted to learn more. But then he explained how he did it: By exploiting the loopholes he found in the rules. He did not even try to legitimately ...

Rating: - Tips and tricks to make a better lifeI just completed the 4 hour work week by Timothy Ferris not because as a senior manager I believe I could actually achieve a 4 hour work week, rather it was after reading Tim's blog that I became intrigued with many of his ideas and having a 14 hour flight to the US ahead of me I figured this would pass the time quickly. I am pleased say that I was impressed and the flight did go quickly. Being a bit of a self help junkie I have read many books in the genre because I recognize that there is always ... Read More Rating:  - Thought provoking even if not practical for some.This book is certainly worth a read although it is more of a manifesto from a bit of a self-obsessed, vaguely doubtful character. Because most people lack the freedom (kids, family, etc.) needed to put many of these ideas into action most can only read it and reflect. However if combined with some other ideas the book can be helpful. First of all the net: 1. Don't think in terms of limits and think big. Less fear, more positive visualization. (Not much new there.) 2. Apply ... Read More Rating:  - Simplistic at bestLet me start by saying I'm an entrepreneur, running a profitable internet startup. The author neglects to mention that the vast majority of people who've achieved a 4 hour work week got there after years of working 70 hour work weeks. The author's sexism was insufferable. He assumes all his readers are men, and there are many "in jokes" at women's expense. I put the book down when I got to the line: "practice picking up girls in order to build your confidence - even if you're ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
