What's This?
 

Description:

It is not necessary to toil for 70 hours per week, according to Ferriss, who runs a company called BrainQuicken. Successful people, he says, have actually mastered a system of working less by outsourcing tasks, severely cutting back on timewasters such as meetings, and working offsite. Ferriss tells how the principles that made him rich are transferable to other companies.

    • Opening doors to freedom

      This book is great if you realize that the true way to freedom to do whatever you want when you want is owning your own business. This is a great informational tool that tells you step-by-step what to do to go about creating your business and then to eventually end up working only 4 hrs a wk. Now, if only I can have the courage to do it... that's another thing the book teaches - not to be afraid and act in spite of fear. It has given me much motivation and have given me a new perspective of what being "successful" really is and how it is possible to get there wherever one may be at.

    • The 4 Hour Work Week

      This book was very informative but also very humorous. I laughed so much reading this book especially when he was recording "his thoughts" to bosses or fellow employees that he had worked with versus what he really had to say in order to stay afloat and not have everyone ticked off at him. And I love his thoughts on meetings and checking information which is a huge time waster-- I am in the health field for 30 years and I have spent 25% of those years in wasted meetings and reading someone's theory of the month and guess what--- 10 hospitals closed in my surrounding area of New Jersey so where did that get anyone?????????

    • Love it

      This book is an easy read and at times funny. It reads like he is sitting there talking to you. If you are unhappy with your job or just starting out and want something different than the 9to 5 rut, read this. I most likely won't do everything in the book, but it helps you to think, and think differently about your life, enough to make a change.

    • Wake-up Call

      This book can spoon-feed you with step-by-step methods for enhancing lifestyle by managing the way you exchange life for cost-of-living! If you are impatient, don't get bogged down in Ferriss' in-book-blog about how he is enjoying the world he has created for himself ... he will tell you how he got there, AND how you can get to the same place, a similar place, or a tangential place that suits your personal value system and place in life. While this book challenges you to choose an alternative to "slave, save, and retire," so you can potentially see the world and/or spend more quality time with your family, Ferriss also speaks to many baby-boomers. For example, at over 60 it is too late for me to use many of Ferriss' trade-off techniques to better manage my career ... but the perspectives and techniques can be adapted to allow me to achieve serious life-goals with money I can make now, not just limited to what's in the 401K. While you may not want that extra time to become a world champion niggly-wiggler, there IS something you would enjoy spending more time on, instead of doing trivia-work and time-wasters just to be in place for a set number of hours to make that set number of dollars. I would suggest most folks scan the whole book and enjoy the sheer entertainment, then dive in and begin the steps relavant to your personal situation. You won't get rich overnight, but you will begin to think about what your life SHOULD be like, and you can begin the trek to achieve the lifestyle that suits your mindset. This is a tremendous 'self-help' book with pragmatic guides. Grab it up!
