Yep, you heard me, work only four hours a week!
This is the message of wunderkind entrepreneur and author Timothy Ferriss. His new book, The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere and Join The New Rich just came out today and it is burning up Amazon.
His concept is simple; go on a low information diet, outsource or delegate and live your dreams -- not your worklife. The book is stuffed with great tips on saving time, money and your mind. For example, he teaches the DEAL system: delegate, eliminate, automate and liberate. This approach applies to projects or even running a business.
If you are working too hard and have no time for yourself, this book is for you!
If you feel like a slave to the grind, buy this book and open your mind. You just might find some time for yourself in the end.
I like so much this part or article... thanks for wrote.. have a nice day!

I am glad he cleared up the email thing. Many people were misunderstanding what he meant.

Rob - Will you consider sharing of great insights about productivity and time-management a SCAM? The person was just trying to help people by giving his idea. He's a great guy for me. :-)

Working four hours a week is not a boring thing, because you can do things out of your work or business. You can have fun, and do the things you want do that you can't do in a regular 9-5 lifestyle. Come to think of it, where is boring when you work all day for your business or job, or you work four hours a week and the rest have fun?

Maybe it's just me but rich people I've met and talked to enjoy working. The idea that if you follow a few secret rules you can go live on a tropical island isn't one found among actual rich people. How about work a 30-40 hour week doing what you love doing. A 4 hour work week just sounds boring to me. :-)

Hey Rob
Tim sent out dozens of copies of his new book to bloggers, seminar attendees, clients etc. and I'm sure he asked them to write a review on launch day (as opposed to over the next few months). If you look at alot of releases (Never Eat Alone, Book Yourself Solid, etc.) you see the same phenom. It's all about focusing your network on launch day.
I talked to Tim on the phone for a long time prior to his launch and he's the real deal. Hard marketer (remember, alot of his work is outsourced to his point) but real deal.

I went to amazon to read the reviews and 24 reviews all written on the same day all give it 5 stars (out of 5). This is obviously a list of fake reviews that the author or family or friends all sent in. I like the idea of the book but can buy a book from a guy trying to scam us.

Hiya Tim
another great recomendation by the sounds of things, Can I make a recomendation though, instead of having three buy from Amazon.com links, why not have one buy from Amazone.co.uk and one Buy from Amazon.de or fe etc, I live in the UK and I susspect that many who read your blog live outside the US, by doing this when we come to buy one of your recomdations you still get the affiliate benefits.
Regards
Damien
