Book Review: The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferris
This book provides a refreshing new look at pursuing your passion while living your ideal life.
Ferris provides a multitude of information on how to take total control of our life….and loving it. I highly recommend this book to entrepreneurs….it will give you lots of information on how to work smarter not harder. I recommend it to the Baby Boom Generation, it will tease you into trying new ideas concerning living your “retirement” while being able to afford it! I recommend it to Generation Xers…..you can learn how to live your passions while earning the monies to afford it and not waiting until you are retired to do so. Ferris, does not only talk about how you can outsource your life, he gives you the tools to do so. There are a multitude of websites and books to go far deeper into this subject matter.
One of my favorite passages is entitled: “The timing is never right.” In reads in part, “For all of the most important things, the timing always sucks. Waiting for a good time to quit your job? The stars will never align and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn’t conspire against you, but it doesn’t go out of its way to line up all the pins either. Conditions are never perfect. “Someday” is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you…..” Ferris does not play the blame game…but gives the reader numerous strategies to employ, wether you are a entrepreneur or employee.
If you a vagabond of any age or wish to become a vagabond, you must read this book!
Beware however, if you are someone who is not ready to take total control of your life…do not read this book!
This book has something for everyone. Take what you like and leave the rest!
