A new, updated and expanded edition of this New York Times bestseller on how to reconstruct your life so it's not all about work

Forget the old concept of retirement and the rest of the deferred-life plan - there is no need to wait and every reason not to, especially in unpredictable economic times.

* How Tim went from $40,000 dollars per year and 80 hours per week to $40,000 per MONTH and 4 hours per week
* How to outsource your life to overseas virtual assistants for $5 per hour and do whatever you want
* How blue-chip escape artists travel the world without quitting their jobs
* How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using the principles of a forgotten Italian economist
* How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and frequent 'mini-retirements'.

This new updated and expanded edition includes-

More than 50 practical tips and case studies from readers (including families) who have doubled their income, overcome common sticking points, and reinvented themselves using the original book as a starting point
* Real-world templates you can copy for eliminating email, negotiating with bosses and clients, or getting a private chef for less than e5 a meal
* How lifestyle design principles can be suited to unpredictable economic times
* The latest tools and tricks, as well as high-tech shortcuts, for living like a diplomat or millionaire without being either.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Tim Ferriss has been listed as one of Fast Company‘s ‘Most Innovative Business People’ and one of Fortune‘s ‘40 under 40’. He is an early-stage technology investor/advisor (Uber, Facebook, Shopify, Duolingo, Alibaba, and 50+ others) and the author of four #1 New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers, including The 4-Hour Workweek, The 4-Hour Body, The 4-Hour Chef and Tools of Titans. The Observer and other media have called Tim ‘the Oprah of audio’ due to the influence of The Tim Ferriss Show podcast, which is the first business/interview podcast to exceed 200 million downloads. Tim received his BA from Princeton University in 2000, where he focused on language acquisition and East Asian Studies. He developed his non-fiction writing with Pulitzer Prize winner John McPhee and formed his life philosophies under Nobel Prize winner Kenzaburo Oe. He is far dumber than both. Tim enjoys bear claws, chocolate croissants, writing ‘About’ pages in third person and neglecting italics.

Good motivational book.

Reviewed in the United States on 21 February 2024

Verified Purchase

Obviously when it comes to these books they can be somewhat vague and positive so it can be hard not be contrived. The average cliche's are certainly here and the youth of the writer at the time of its creation does present itself from time to time but overall this is a pretty good book and worth recommending. The key aspects are efficiency, planning, and staying on task. Of course everyone knows these are important. What is valuable about this book is it gives you actual advice, tasks, and worksheets to help you build these habits rather than just telling you how awesome you are and just how good it is to stay motivated. There are some pretty good quotes in here, both from the author as well as various snippets from famous thinkers and celebrities sprinkled throughout the book. This is important since it lets me pretend to know about more historical figures than I really do in passing conversation. Since this book was made in the early 2000s a lot of the links are for outdated platforms that have been replaced with better options with the passage of time, but that will always be the case with anything over a decade old. Much of the matter is timeless however, and it is important to remind ourselves to keep our minds on track. Ive finished about half of the book at the time of writing this review, and so far I feel like it has been worthy of my time.

In terms of the seller the book came in excellent condition. Minor bump on the hardcover but for its price it was essentially a steal. I have certainly damaged and defaced it more since I purchased it.

Book 4/5 Physical condition and shipment 5/5

Revolutionary and Life-Altering – The 4-Hour Workweek Unlocks a New World of Possibilities!

Reviewed in Canada on 23 January 2024

Verified Purchase

Timothy Ferriss’s The 4-Hour Workweek, Expanded and Updated edition is nothing short of a manifesto for reimagining life and work. It earns an enthusiastic 5 out of 5 stars for its groundbreaking ideas and practical advice that challenge conventional wisdom about the 9-to-5 grind.

What strikes you first about this book is Ferriss's audacious promise: escaping the rat race and living anywhere while joining the new rich. This isn’t just a book; it's a call to fundamentally change how you view work and life. The updated edition, with over 100 new pages, is packed with fresh insights and actionable steps, making it even more relevant in today's fast-changing world.

Ferriss's writing is engaging, often humorous, and always thought-provoking. He doesn't just offer tips; he provides a comprehensive framework for achieving what he terms 'lifestyle design.' This approach involves delegating, automating, and eliminating unnecessary tasks to free up time and resources to live more fully.

The book's real strength lies in its actionable content. From negotiating remote work to starting a side hustle or automating your income, Ferriss provides tools and techniques that are both innovative and practical. These strategies are not just theoretical; they are backed by case studies and real-life examples, including Ferriss's own experiences.

One of the most impactful concepts is the idea of mini-retirements, where instead of deferring life's pleasures for a traditional retirement, Ferriss advocates for taking extended breaks throughout one’s career. This concept alone challenges the traditional work-life paradigm and encourages readers to think differently about their time and goals.

In summary, The 4-Hour Workweek is more than a book; it's a lifestyle guide that empowers you to break free from the mundane and create a life that is rich in experiences and achievements. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a freelancer, or someone feeling stuck in a traditional job, this book offers a blueprint for creating a life that is not only productive but also adventurous and fulfilling. It's a must-read for anyone looking to transform their life and embrace a new way of living and working. Truly deserving of its acclaim and a perfect 5-star rating.

Ein Paradigmenwechsel für das Arbeitsleben

Reviewed in Germany on 18 January 2024

Verified Purchase

Tim Ferriss' "Die 4-Stunden-Woche" ist ein faszinierendes Buch, das einen revolutionären Ansatz zur Lebens- und Arbeitsgestaltung präsentiert. Ferriss fordert konventionelle Arbeitsmuster heraus und zeigt auf, wie man ein Leben führen kann, das mehr Freiheit, Flexibilität und Erfüllung bietet.

Die Stärke des Buches liegt in Ferriss' persönlichen Erfahrungen und seinem Talent, komplexe Ideen verständlich zu vermitteln. Sein Konzept der Effektivität über Effizienz und die Idee, das Leben in sogenannten "Museen" zu gestalten, inspirieren viele Leser dazu, ihre eigene Arbeit und Lebensweise zu überdenken.

Die vorgestellten Prinzipien wie Outsourcing, Automatisierung und die Fokussierung auf das Wesentliche haben viele Menschen dazu ermutigt, nach neuen Wegen in ihrer beruflichen und persönlichen Entwicklung zu suchen. Das Buch bietet praktische Ratschläge und Tools, um den Weg zu einem lebenswerteren Arbeitsleben zu ebnen.

Allerdings ist Ferriss' Ansatz nicht für jeden geeignet, und einige Leser könnten Schwierigkeiten haben, seine radikalen Ideen in ihrem eigenen Kontext umzusetzen. Die Betonung auf finanzieller Unabhängigkeit und die Kritik an herkömmlichen Karrierepfaden könnten in manchen Fällen als zu extrem empfunden werden.

Insgesamt ist "Die 4-Stunden-Woche" ein inspirierendes Buch für diejenigen, die nach alternativen Lebens- und Arbeitsmodellen streben. Es ermutigt dazu, die eigenen Prioritäten zu überdenken und eine ausgewogenere Lebensweise anzustreben.
