More about the book
Tim Ferriss is a 28-year-old serial vagabond, successful entrepreneur and lifestyle hustler who has been teaching a wildly popular course at Princeton University for the past several years upon which this book is based. In THE 4-HOUR WORK WEEK, Ferriss explores the epidemic of information, abuse and addiction that has left us overwhelmed and confused, and poorer for it, and asks us to rethink our lives. Ferriss is convinced that we can lead a rich life by working only 4 hours a week, freeing up the rest of our time to spend it living the lives we want. THE 4-HOUR WORK WEEK is not another book on the work-life balance describing the problems we all face. It is about creating solutions. Ferriss teaches you the tips and tricks of the 20/80 rule so you no longer have to wait to retire to enjoy fun, travel and adventure; shows you how to find your muse; replace your dreams with goals and how to 'add life' after subtracting work. So, take a step back and follow these principles: Definition: Define what you want to be doing. Elimination: Ask yourself three times a day 'am I being productive, or am I being busy?' Get rid of the noise and interruption. Automation: Delegate or automate the remaining tasks, even sending personal tasks overseas. Liberation: Enjoy your mobility and use the time you create.
