The New York Times bestselling author of The 4-Hour Body shows readers how to live more and work less, now with more than 100 pages of new, cutting-edge content.

Forget the old concept of retirement and the rest of the deferred-life planā€“there is no need to wait and every reason not to, especially in unpredictable economic times. Whether your dream is escaping the rat race, experiencing high-end world travel, or earning a monthly five-figure income with zero management, The 4-Hour Workweek is the blueprint.

This step-by-step guide to luxury lifestyle design teaches:
ā€¢ How Tim went from $40,000 per year and 80 hours per week to $40,000 per month and 4 hours per week
ā€¢ How to outsource your life to overseas virtual assistants for $5 per hour and do whatever you want
ā€¢ How blue-chip escape artists travel the world without quitting their jobs
ā€¢ How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using the principles of a forgotten Italian economist
ā€¢ How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and frequent "mini-retirements"

The new expanded edition of Tim Ferriss' The 4-Hour Workweek includes:
ā€¢ More than 50 practical tips and case studies from readers (including families) who have doubled income, overcome common sticking points, and reinvented themselves using the original book as a starting point
ā€¢ Real-world templates you can copy for eliminating e-mail, negotiating with bosses and clients, or getting a private chef for less than $8 a meal
ā€¢ How Lifestyle Design principles can be suited to unpredictable economic times
ā€¢ The latest tools and tricks, as well as high-tech shortcuts, for living like a diplomat or millionaire without being either

If you want to really know about this book, go to the podcast If Books Could Kill about it. Very well done and thoroughly exposes this rubbish.

Funny and surprising to see the hate on here ā€” before reading it I scoffed at and openly criticized the title as absolute snake oil and bs, but the book isn't really about only working 4 hours a week, it's just about not only caring about work and nothing else.
I thought this book was great, but I recognize it's not for everyone. I read it at a time when I was unsatisfied with my office job working for someone else and was in the process of building my own business and leaving my place of employment (and doing it all while I traveled full time in an RV, pre-covid, and everyone thought I was nuts). It felt risky and a little crazy to me at the time, but this book backed up a lot of the moves I was already in the process of making. I don't relate to and am not doing every little thing in the book, but the overarching themes were incredibly relatable to me, namely putting a higher value on time and freedom than always putting work first, and finding a way to scale and separate a linear relationship between trading one hour of your time for $XX over and over.
Happy to say I've been happily self employed for 5+ years now, building something much more lucrative long term than my monotonous office job, and with exponentially more freedom.
There's plenty of value in this book, particularly for those who are looking to be self employed, but also in general. It's all in how you look at it.

I think if you read it (and 4 hour body) and pick out things that are applicable to you - it can have value. Both books have helped me. I do not follow (or agree with) every little nuance of the book.

For $2, if you don't have it for free at a local library - I believe it has more value than a 20oz pop I might otherwise spend that money on.

My biggest problem with this book is that the proposals simply don't scale. Not everyone can implement outsourcing their work to somebody else - somebody eventually has to do the actual work. So, in effect, it's a Ponzi scheme, with Tim at the top.

As a government worker I wonder if this would work for me. I could cut my work load from 6 hours a week to 4.

Did he spend 4 hours outsourcing the work for this book?

What's the gist of it? Have money and pay the lowest bidders to work for you?

Quote from YellowShoes :
I kinda started this book but didn't stick to me as first he was talking about outsourcing things go Asia n stuff.. everyone knows that shit and you don't really need to optimize how to work your emails, etc. Are people buying this book really that lazy to do it? Everyone knows that there are sites like fiverr etc. if they want to outsource.. not sure why they are buying into this crap that says.. stay in an island and outsource your stuff and live care free.. it would be great if things were that easy... May be if you're 20 yr old you can do it for couple of months.. but when you're older and have family where does all this utopian world comes in? don't you have to send your kids to school, pay mortgage, run your business daily or work etc.
If you bought this when it came out in 2007, you'd likely have been ahead on a lot of people.

Several of the concepts are still logical. I listened to the rationale for why to do everything. And then I apply it as I can throughout my life.

Direct examples are dated - but learning how to be ahead of the curve still prevails. Same for "Free: the future of a radical price". In hindsight, you can learn to think like they did.
