Purchase options and add-ons
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. Whether your dream is escaping the rat race, experiencing high-end world travel, earning a monthly five-figure income with zero management, or just living more and working less, this book is the blueprint.
This step-by step guide to luxury lifestyle design teaches-
* 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.

About the author
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.

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.

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.
