For starters I only rated this book with 1 star so that the chance it would be read would be greatly increased. My real rating is 5 stars. Nearly every negative review has failed to realize that starting a business that runs itself it merely the vehicle to be successful but not the point of the book. It is a complete re-organization of your life, learning to take a more critical view on what you have been taught life has to be like. It is true that not everybody can do this, good, less competition for me, It is key that you follow the exercises laying the foundation that is necessary for your business model to work. That foundation is getting over your fears, being persistent and truly believing that no task is impossible. For all my "morals this morals that" people, just as spies have to do bad things to make good things happen you can do great things for this world if you have time and money to make it happen. As many have said before me you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. For those of you who still want to give it a try a good start is reading all of the negative reviews. This is a great source of information from all of the losers who this will not work for and teaches you what not to be. I'm not rich, but I no longer slave away and have equaled my previous income. I do agree that this is not for the weak.

The 4-Hour Work-week by Timothy Ferris

In The 4-Hour Work-week (4HWW) Mr. Ferris gives us a four step process to define our dreams and goals, eliminate those aspects of our lives that do not contribute to accomplishing our dreams, automate the appropriate level of revenue to finance those dreams and liberate ourselves from the daily chores of life. He leads us down a path toward freedom, defined by his own standards, that results in sufficient financial autonomy and emotional independence to set one's own life course and pursue it with passion and vigor.

Perhaps I read into 4HWW things that were not there. I see it as a pattern to be followed that, at least for me, will not lead to a life of leisure working a mere four hours a week but to an iterative process. 4HWW offers a business development path toward business ownership in a highly liberated fashion in which key players perform the routine tasks of the business allowing the owner time to pursue other interests. For Mr. Ferris those other interests lie in areas of leisure and personal development. I see it as an opportunity to multiply my own time by repeating the steps to produce a number of businesses each requiring a fractional commitment in terms of time on my own part.

While The 4-Hour Work-week by Timothy Ferris is not five star writing, it is three cheer thinking and certainly worthy consumption.

I liked a single thing about this book... its no nonsense simplicity in outlining a step by step process for succeeding in ANY area of your life.

Using business as the model, Tim gives his readers the instructions to self development that any and all readers can follow to achieve any goal in life. He accomplishes this without hype or false promises, which is a breath of fresh air. He speaks in specific terms, directs you to specific sources, and gives you the specific tools he has used personally, with no secrets.

Is this process for everyone? Probably not. Can anyone apply his rules and principals to their life to improve themselves and grow to a place where they are able to make changes which will position themselves to take further advantage of more of the instructions he has presented and thus move steadily toward a total application of the recipe provided in this book? ABSOLUTELY!

Life is not about arriving, but rather the journey, and this book leads the way with the "how to" details that so many other books leave out. If you can buy only one book, buy THIS book.

This is not your average book. Its core will affect the inner core of your existence when you're not beyond help of material life. Reading this book on vacation left me without sense of time and kept me on going until I was finished. Then it struck me.

Timothy Ferris talks about life-changing methods that will make you live your dreams of travel, no 9 to 5 job and a life full of adventure. As there are many books around who promise this, what makes this one different? Absolutely vital in this book is the knowledge that money will not be thing that will make you change your life, it causes your life to change. It will not by default make you a happier person though.

As every success writer before, Timothy Ferris will offer you the tools to reach your goal in retrospective view. What the book lacks is the emotions you go through trying to establish this new life which is Delegated, Eliminated, Automated and Liberated (DEAL). Any method like this makes me wonder whether this has helped the author as well or is just a success formula in theory.

Apart from the lack of inner insecurity and description of his own emotional challenges this book is by far one of its kind. If you are daring enough to go out and turn your life upside down, this is your guide. To be continued.

The book isn't targeted at those who don't want to change or those that want to change but cannot, but rather it's targeted for those who actually want to and can change their life. I don't think I could live the way Tim describes in his book. I really enjoy what I do and doing less of it seems like it wouldn't make me better off. But the idea of doing less work isn't what I dug about about the book. One of the ideas was that Tim challenges the notion that people have to work 30-40 years before they can retire and enjoy life. There is no reason why you can't and shouldn't take those trips around the world now. You will likely enjoy and appretricate it more now instead of when you are 60. He also recommends eliminating things which cause stress and waste time. An example of time wasters are events such as meetings, constantly checking e-mail, and even social media. Reducing these actively can help you be more productive. Perhaps something I need to learn how to do. Especially since I am someone who finds myself on twitter and checking email all the time. Although I enjoy those work interruptions perhaps they are not the best use of my time. Tim also recommends firing stress causing clients whose projects produce very little revenue for yourself and just add more stress into your life. I'm making the book sound like a self help book and it's really not; It's also not a get rich quick book. Instead think of "The 4-Hour Workweek" as a guide book. Along with the ideas of the elimination of excessive clutter from work and home Tim provides steps for you to start automating your life. Showing you how to create income streams that don't require you to be involved in the equation. I'm not sure that everyone can optimize the way that Tim and others have. A majority of people who read it WON'T follow any of the advice in the book. People like stability, routine, and security. If nothing else it's inspirational and will likely get you motivated. It will make you wonder why you work so much and travel so little. Rediscover your time.

Fun to read, full of ideas, and full of sources of where to find the trades Ferris describes.

Few books will tell you where you can find the tools that you can use to build this type of financial empire, but Tim does. Buy the new book just for that info alone!

Its all very good!

Awesome book and quick read. I can't wait to start putting your advice into action.

I don't need to reduce my workweek, but I found lots of inspiration as to pursuing various passions. Tim's willingness to approach problems in unconventional ways and his tremendous enthusiasm for his pursuits make this book a winner.

this book is simply brilliant and will change the way i handle life from here on in. I highly recommend it

someone loaned me this book, so when it was time to return it i bought myself a copy. it is filled with all the information you need to know to get started on your own biz...that is if you have the motivation.

This book gave me a jump start towards occupational freedom. Since reading this book, I have since quit my full time job. (Still work part time) but I am well on my way to being self employed in a high leverage business opportunity where my dollars don't have to equal work hours.

If you hate your job, or just cant see spending the better part of your waking life working for some soulless corporation, get Tim's book and get on the road to occupational independence.

It has been said that the books you read in life choose you, vs. the other way around. After reading "The 4-Hour Workweek" it solidified a voice inside of me who knew the practices of Tim Ferris were achievable in the real world. His book has many practical applications, but the most important piece of his writing comes from the challenge he lays out to live your life with passion, vs. settling for "normal." I have given this book as a gift to many business associated and friends as a way to support them to a more balanced life.

If you're stuck in the perpetual bliss of a mundain 9 to 5 workweek and don't know how to break the cycle and start to live then this is the book for you. For years I've been struggling with trying to balance time needed to succeed at marriage, children, work, and have totally forgotton about me. This book has helped me put a whole new perspective on what is really important, how to balance priorities and has encouraged me, rather shall I say ,shown me a light at the end of a tunnel, to move forward on accomplishing those things that have been in the back of my mind for some time and start living a real life.

If this does book doesn't change your life, nothing will.

This book is filled with enlightening, unique advice on how to live life on your own terms and be your own boss. Tim's writing style is both sharp and engaging-as he always gives you homework after each chapter so that the info doesn't go in one ear and out the other. It is a must to add to your library!!

A very inspiring read for recent grads. Why waste the best years of your life in a cubicle trying to get ahead when you could live the life you've always wanted to RIGHT NOW? This book shows you how. Even if you're already in a career that you truly love, like me, the insights on luxurious yet inexpensive travel, living abroad and mini-retirements are invaluable.

I have yet applied multiple of its life hacks. It contains many great tips, and will let you see the life differently. Very good advices to do what you have always wanted to do but never had the courage to. Read that book and be ready to bring change into your life.

If you spend too much time trying to figure out where the heck your time is going - read Tim's book! There is A LOT of great advice and hands on tips on how to outsource, minimize destractions and maximize joyful lifestyle. I don't agree with all of his ways of going about that but the book is jam-packed, so if you don't find a few dead-on methods in there for you, you probably speed read it without taking in a word. I am in the process of outsourcing some of my art production and it's not only changing the way I do business but what I consider possible in the future - now that's a shift in itself worth the book! Thanks, Tim!!

The philosophy in this book can be applied to all areas of life. I think the only bad thing I would say about the book is that the title is misleading. I am not sure of a better title and I think cheesy titles like this make for more sales. The book actually is about increasing productivity on things you do not enjoy so that you have more time to do what you love. Great book. I have read the original and I "went to the movies twice" to catch some things I may have missed the first time. Buy this book and read it. You will not be sorry.

I knew 2010 was going to be an awesome year for me because I was going to make it that way as I'll be celebrating a huge BIRTHDAY. How absolutely perfect that I should be in a Border's store looking for something inspiring to read and I stumble upon this book.
Tim has thought of everything (as far as I've seen so far) as you embark on making a life change, including travelling, not just through Europe but anywhere.

His passion and commitment for introducing solid steps in order to make the leap from just dreaming about doing something, to actually doing it is amazing. The most inspiring thought of this book was when Tim asked "Imagine what would be the worst thing that would happen if you did what you're dreaming you want to do?" (ok that wasn't verbatim, but you get the message). When I thought of the worst thing that could happen, it just wasn't all that bad, so I did it!
Amazing, amazing... You are my hero and I now visit your website often.

If you've even thought of making small changes in your life, this is a MUST READ book IMMEDIATELY.

I read this book on the way home from Australia - I couldn't put it down. I've worked in Asia for many years but never thought to use it personally. I've walked away with some very solid ideas... Thank you Tim.

I may have to come back later and make this review say life altering.
I'm a business owner who currently is owned by his business. But after reading 4 Hour Work Week I'm now in the business of putting myself out of work. I'm enabling my employees and automating processes. I never realized how many times a day I check my e-mail, I might have to start a support group.

Here's to becoming more productive!!

This book is filled with lots of information to help you streamline your life. It has links to find more information (as if the book isn't filled with enough)! I would recommend the book to anyone wanting ideas to not only inspire their lives, but give them ideas of business avenues as well.

I borrowed the 1st version of this book an read it while on vacation in Hawaii. I loved it, but I didn't follow through on his advice and message when I got back to the mainland. month later his updated version of 4hww came out and I decided to buy it and see the differences. The advice was followed up with real world examples and for me it was a very inspiring read. I am now on the road towards my own version of 4hww. I am in the middle of my "elimination" phase. Even if you take 1 thing from this book and apply it to your life, you will improve the quality of your life ten fold. Great book - funny, easy to read and full of inspiring advice.

look, Ferris is a wizard, no doubt about that. any time you can get a constant barrage of mind grenades like 4hww you need to tell someone. too many people think they are awesome or whatever, but look people... no one cares. do yourself a favor, extend your life and career by rooting for someone else.

cheers tim, one day ill meet yah.

This book is the finest roadmap I've ever encountered for putting into practice the dreams and goals that my entrepreneur mind always knew were possible, but could never fully conjure into reality. For some Type A personalities, the dilemna of "what to do" is less of a problem than "how to get there." Ferriss deals with it all, no matter your type, and leaves no global stone unturned in this little treasure chest of knowledge. Providing case studies, web sites, marketing companies, virtual assistant sources, layperson formulas and more, he also focuses on the mindset, comfort zone and life issues you will find it necessary to address while taking full advantage of the wonderful tools and sources he provides.

As a writer and a business owner who has started three different ventures over 20 years, and in multiple career tracks while working myself to death, I never did figure out how to take myself out of the equation to achieve real success. I now understand that this is the fastest way to succeed. Quite counter-intuitive. The model he provides in the book is more than a business model, it's a map for lifestyle design. It held the key to a freedom I thought could never be available to me. I have Ferriss and his wonderful book to thank for a fabulous new life!

Highly recommended read, even if you're not entrepreneur-minded. And, especially if you're not! Just don't be surprised to find yourself doing a facepalm now and then (why didn't I realize this before?), and mumbling "of course" under your breath as you read, not to mention laughing aloud (Ferriss shares some hysterical learnings he and others experienced as they searched for what worked and what didn't).

Ferriss has written an engaging, thought-provoking and quite humorous roadmap to pursuing your real niche and reclaiming true living on your own terms, the likes of which will astonish you. Enjoy it, and put it into practice! How amazing would it be if the majority of human beings on the planet really LOVED everything about their lives?! What would that look like?? This is a phenomenal and necessary book that gives us a leg up to helping reinvent human life as we know it and leave behind the long-held, Victorian assumptions about work life, purpose, time, mobility and living!

I visited Tim's website blog today (Thursday February 11, 2010): [...] and he mentioned this review page. I've had the first edition of 4HWW since early 2009 and it blew me away. I too, like other reviewers, have many books on wealth building, becoming a better person, business intelligence etc. But Tim's prose struck a deeper cord that made me say "See, I knew I wasn't crazy! It is possible!"

The world that we live in I see as The Matrix (yes, like the movie). Generally speaking we have been brainwashed to see things a certain way and go after those things in a certain way. But, many of us have known for a long time--whether we could articulate it or not--that something is wrong with this picture: slave at my job(s) for most of my adult life; retire on pennies; and die...that cannot be right (just like Neo in The Matrix, he knew something was awry though not sure what exactly). This book has galvanized my unplugging from The Matrix.

Get this book and read it. Get this book and study it. Get this book and put the redesigning of your life into hyper-drive. I will buy the newest edition.

This book changed my and my wife's lives. Our story is pretty crazy, but the short version is that we met in college, fell in love, went our separate ways, and then reconnected and got back together about 4 or 5 years later. We ended up getting married and having a baby...anyway...we were moving my wife back up north from Florida where she'd been working. We had heard of this book, and since we had an 20 hour drive, we bought the audio version of this book to listen to while driving. We were astounded by what we heard.

Tim literally gives away all his secrets for what we paid for this book. He lets the reader know everything he did, when he did it, and what to do to replicate or even surpass his success with what he's done. Whether you are aching to jump into the deep end and work for yourself, or you already do what you love and just want productivity tips and resources, it's all here. and that's no BS. We also bought the print version. Currently, my wife has started her freelance "New Rich" life, and I'm following close behind. We have an 18 month old and would like more, and even we could do the things Tim lays out for us.

Simply amazing. This book will change your life for the better, because you simply can't refuse to incorporate at least some of it into your life. You will be amazed at how much more you get done and how much time you will save doing so much more.

Buy it now, and give it as a gift to everyone you care about. You won't regret it one bit.

This is a must read for those who are looking to get out of the rat race and create their life by design. Timothy does a phenomenal job of not only teaching you the strategies to work 4 hours per week but he gives you the resources, sites and tools to make it happen.

I have recommended this book to all of my clients and watch them get their lives back by outsourcing the things that they should not be doing anyway. Even if you love your job this book is essential in streamlining what you do. A must, must read for any soloproneurs or professionals.

This book was recommended to me by my cousin. I don't read books ever, but he said it would change my life and it did. It seems as if 4hww was designed specifically for how I would like to live my life, and now that I have read this book, getting to that point is going to be a lot easier.

If you want life to have meaning, read this book and you will thank me later.

I was skeptical of the 4HWW title - many of us know folks who have achieved an enviable work/life balance but how practical is it for me? The funny thing about this book is that as outrageous as many of the stories and instructions seem, they are completely practical too. If you begin to implement any of Tim's experiments your life will become more interesting and previously unconsidered options will open up. I just purchased the book and I'm only halfway through, but today I'm making plans to open an online store - total startup cost $250. There's a ton of methods in this book to improve your quality of life, most of them are immediately accessible to you, there's no excuse to not give this book a try.

Tim, please accept my apologies for the long delay in penning my review of the original 4HWW. I've been busy living la vida dulce.

I bought the book during a long delay at the Minneapolis airport. I read it cover to cover en route to Tokyo. I've traveled the world for over 20 years, always for military or business duties. Today, I travel the world for business and personal pleasure without ever neglecting my responsibilities. I handle 90% of my daily grind with automation and minimal human assitance. Now, I divide my time fairly evenly between philanthropy, sailing, playing guitar, and reading on the beach. Next, I'll be shopping for my Fountaine Pajot and a home port. Brilliant, Tim. Absolutely brilliant.

I always had this life planned, but your book was the real kick in the ass I needed.

Congrats!

Your success is well-deserved!

My very best to you!

I can't wait to start implementing Tim's ideas. The thought of doing what I'm doing now for the next 30+ years is far more scary that what he is proposing.

For the past 5 years I have been single minded in my pursuit of "success" based on the assumption that to achieve it I had to work 80+ hours a week in the prime of my life if I am to enjoy the rest of my life. Tim has showed me another way.

I am mega exited at my latest project that has been in the works for the past 6 months that will earn me the money but more importantly earn me the lifestyle I thought I had to wait until I was at least 45/50 years old to enjoy. I want the freedom to go places when I want, to spend time with my family and not have to worry about what I am not getting done to get me ahead and to have time for me, doing the things that I love to do. Very soon I will have that working only about a half day a week from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. All by following what is in this book.

IF you want to have a life that is rich in money and experiences, read this book, do as Tim says and join the "New Rich". Putting off living your life is not the only option.

This book explodes constrictive constructs & agitates & inspires towards challenging the ways we live...I read it as a fabulous story the 1st time around & now I'm using it as valuable reference material to begin outsourcing & make the dreams a reality. Well Done Tim!

The book changed the way I see reality. 4HWW helped me to understand that 1) the internet is a world changing technology and 2) that there are many ways that one can generate an income while working from any location you can dream up. Thanks Tim!

This book is exciting to read and think about how to implement the ideas into your own life. I have read it three times and really like it. Must Read...

I was so stressed out between my 9-5 job (that I hate) and my side business (that I love). My side business has grown to the point that I needed to make a decision between it and my 9-5 job, and trying to maintain them both was killing me. Then add one minor family crisis to the mix and I ended up in therapy just trying to cope with it all! At the end of my very first therapy session my therapist handed me a copy of Tim's book as I was leaving. I read it non-stop from cover to cover and I can't believe there is someone out there that thinks the same way I do and has such great ideas to make it all happen! This isn't just some motivational book. It has great useful information for truely living your dream. The decision is made, my dreamline is in writing, and I've already begun the first steps to freedom!

I saw this book in the book store while I was Christmas shopping for friends and fam. The title, of course, is what intrigued me. I bought it. I would have bought it even if it said 20-hour work week. I was in need of something new, different. The author presents a strong case against waiting until 65 to start living; a thought I was already against but wasnt sure how to navigate or explain my discontent to love ones.

The book is chock full of resources and credible endorsements. Im so sold on the personal assistant idea! I feel equipped to launch my own muse...what ever that may be. The book is a good life resource.

This book is incredible. It has changed my perspective on everything related to business. Tim Ferriss has done an incredible job at putting case studies and examples so you can implement these things into your daily life.

Thanks Tim!

I have the "expanded and updated" version of The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss. I enjoyed it immensely. In fact several of the points he expresses are ones I have long held near and dear to my heart. It was refreshing to find someone who has actually taken the steps to prove the theory. I am reading it a second time. Not because the information is difficult to grasp but because there is so much of it. I have friends and family that need and want to read the book as well. I was going to share my copy with them but it looks I'll have to buy them their own copy now. My goal is to escape the 9 to 5 drudgery and increase my multiple streams of income so that they exceed my needs and provide me the true life worth living. If you are at all interested in learning how to work smarter, improve productivity, and yet spend more free time doing the things you enjoy, (not to mention family time) then you must get and read, no, devour, this book, The 4 Hour Workweek.

I read a ton of magazines and books each week. I have traveled and used online methods that allowed me to quit my job in August of 1999. I learned that you can indeed follow your passions and have fun doing what you love then you you will never feel like you actually worked a day in your life . I started a business providing travel information to certain groups and because I helped others, it helped me achieve a life of having fun every day. Tim's ideas work. He embellished everything that I believe it. If you have any doubts, it can be done just ask me and I will show you proof. Good Job Tim

This book will change the way you think about life, work and happiness. Whether you adopt it as your own personal bible or whether you give it the ole once over, some of the concepts will stick with you and increase your quality of life by immeasurable leaps. The additional material will give you the answers to any and all the questions you have along the way. My favorite thing about this book is that it actually tells you how. Step by step, day by day, hour by hour. There is no fluff, no far fetched pipe dreams, simply the way to get what you want out of life. Buy it, read it, read it again and then lend it to a friend. You'll be glad you did.

I don't understand many of the critics here on Amazon. You give a well-written book only one star because it doesn't provide an ultimate resolution to every life problem you're facing?

Ferris did great service in this book. So perhaps it's not the most practical money-making book out there, but it is very helpful in changing your attitude and perspective about time and money and their worth in our modern world.

No, you don't have to work like a dog 60 hours a week to make a 6 figures income. No, you don't have to compromise on the things you enjoy or the time you spend with your loved ones, just to end the month, somehow.

Ferris might have missed the mark with the over-preaching of traveling - not everyone wants to leave their homes or put their belongings in storage and start cruising the world for years. True. But could YOU do that next Monday if you felt like it?

I've serendipitously got the book just after had been fired in the fall'09. And regret that it hasn't come to my hands earlier - I would quit years ago! Since then I've visited China for a couple of months and going to have a trip to Thailand.
I'm not the business owner, my job was one of those which are mostly outsourced -- design and publishing. But many ad agencies still prefer to have 10-20 people in the office for 8-hours work day, doing the same amount of job that 5 of them can do in a half of that time if they are payed for the result, not for the time. The cause of what's going on in the offices is that nobody wants any changes. Even realizing the inefficiency we continue doing what we're told until we have our salary payed. And this "A feather in the hand is better than a bird in the air" is what everyone thinks about any changes at all.
But while day after day we continue doing the same as we did yesterday some people have already began to change their lives. Who of them will have more to tell after 10 years -- what do you think?

I bought this book for my wife's birthday, after she read it I took to it.We discuses the book after word and ended up with mixed reviews. My wife had enjoyed the book and found it very informative, motivating, and inspiring. ( my wife is not business savvy and this was her first business book read) My wife wood give this book four stars.
I on the other hand have read a few more books on business and had more to compare to. I found the author to be a bit phony, stating to become a expert just so you can use it as promotional tool which if done wrong will make you loose all your credibility. A good majority of this book is quotes (filler for lake of information), and allot of how to plan a trip once you become " new rich" (more filler and the info is horrible it lax real travel experience.
The only relevance in this book would be motivation, if you have never read a book on starting your own business.
I would not recommend this book, my wife would.
I would say get it at the library don't waist your money on it.

This book has changed my life more then any other book out side of the Bible. I recommend this book to many people on a regular basis but i have learned that most people are not read for it. Most people are not like Tim Ferris and myself - dangerously ambitious. My biggest piece of gratitude in ready this book has been my wife's willingness to let me explore so much in lateral thinking and the results have been amazing. Tim, Thanks for all that you have passed on to us - learning is so shallow if it is never passed on to other students - thanks for allowing the well to go deeper.

I picked up this book skeptically.

The ideas in here have challenged me and gotten me more excited about work, period, than I have been in a long time.

Some of the best ones include:

- Many of us spend most of our work days being busy, rather than effective. So, it's important not to confuse business with importance or effectiveness. Eliminate busyness for it's own sake.

- Consider the efficiency of income. Who's got a better deal? The guy who makes 100k/yr working 100 hours a week or the guy who makes 50k/yr working 10 hrs/wk?

At the same time, I know some folks who have implemented some of the ideas in the book in terms of communication efficiency, low information diet, etc. The ideas are good, objectively, if you own a small business or are the boss. The problem is that when implemented in the workplace poorly, it appears you're not a team player and create more work for others, rather than contributing to team performance.

Overall a good read that will give you at least food for thought and at best some new work/life techniques that will help you out immensely.

Timothy Ferris is an excellent author with a good system. Like most books, his system is only good if you use it.

What I really enjoy about this book is he has based it on his real-life experiences and he gives you the tools you need to do the same. Tim is not one of those "Do as I say not as I do" authors nor is he an "I can't do it so I wrote a book to teach it" authors.

Tim has included hundreds of URL's for almost any service you need if you're starting your own business. These links alone are worth price of the book.

I have started creating a business with this system, almost verbatim, and I've found it to be extremely challenging. No task is single handedly difficult, but it's definitely not a get-rich-quick system, it takes some hard work and elbow grease to get it going. Once completed though it really will be an automated income generation machine.

Even if starting your own business is not your goal, the concepts and resources Tim introduces you too will have far reaching benefits in whatever career you are in.


I have purchased both editions and the Audio-Book. I prefer the audio-book as I can listen to it in the car to re-enforce the behaviors. I prefer the printed edition for the list of resources. I bought the new edition because the first edition was extremely beneficial for me, I encourage you to purchase this new expanded edition.

I have also given away 3 copies to friends, This is the only book I've ever given away more than once.

Many of his concepts can be found in other books. Tim does an excellent job of collecting the strategies that actually work and presenting them to you based upon his own success with each concept.

This is a great book. I have start to apply some of the techniques that is mentioned in the book, and have already for the advantage of it. Thank you for laying it out in plain English for us.

This is a real action oriented read. You read and do - and watch the transformation in your mind and life. I recommend to all who want to break out of self-imposed limitations and get back to your center - - and live like you know you can!!! Tim Ferriss has got it goin' on and he wrote a "how-to" that is fun and functional! Thanks, TF! It works.
