Today I got to meet Author Tim Ferriss. He spoke at a conference I am attending in Mesa. For those of you that don't know who he is, he is the Author of "The 4-Hour Work Week".
"Whether you're an overworked employee or an entrepreneur trapped in your own business, The 4-Hour Workweek is the compass for a new and revolutionary world.
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. Whether your dream is escaping the rat race, high-end world travel, monthly five-figure income with zero management, or just living more and working less, this book is the blueprint.
You can have it all—really.
He teaches you:
How to outsource your life and do whatever you want for a year, only to return to a bank account 50% larger than before you left
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 little-known European economists
How to train your boss to value performance over presence, or kill your job (or company) if it's beyond repair
How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and frequent “mini-retirements”
What automated cash-flow "muses" are and how to create one in 2-4 weeks
How to cultivate selective ignorance—and create time—with a low-information diet
Management secrets of Remote Control CEOs
The crucial difference between absolute and relative income
How to get free housing worldwide and airfare at 50-80% off
How to fill the void and creating meaning after removing work and the office
The 4-Hour Workweek also includes the sample e-mails, voicemails, and real-life deals (with dollar figures and all) you will need to master the new world of luxury lifestyle design.
I own and have read his book and highly recommend it to everyone. It is a must have for your education library!
"Tim is Indiana Jones for the digital age. I've already used his advice
to go spearfishing on remote islands and ski the best hidden slopes of
Argentina. Simply put, do what he says and you can live like a
millionaire."
— Albert Pope, Derivatives Trading, UBS World Headquarters
"Tim has packed more lives into his 29 years than Steve Jobs has in his 51." — Tom Foremski, Journalist and Publisher of SiliconValleyWatcher.com
"Thanks to Tim Ferriss, I have more time in my life to travel, spend time with family and write book blurbs. This is a dazzling and highly useful work." — A.J. Jacobs Editor-at-Large, Esquire Magazine Author of The Know-It-All
