Book Reviews of The 4-Hour work Week: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
Book Review: Nonsense
Summary: 1 Stars
As someone who has worked toward and basicially succeeded at living the life promoted by this book, I can say that the book is largely nonsense. The problem is that we live in a competitive world, and any business with margins sufficient to let the owner work a few hours a week will compete with another company that charges less and the owner works half a week, and that company will compete with another company that charges even less and the owner works a full week. Yes, for those of us whose work involves sitting in front of a computer, the Internet can let us work from about anywhere--but we still have to work.
Summary of The 4-Hour work Week: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
Tim Ferriss is an extraordinary young man on a mission. The twenty-eight-year-old serial vagabond and successful entrepreneur has been teaching a wildly popular course at Princeton University for the past four years--a how-to and why-to guide to throwing out the old tools and methods for success (balancing life and work, retiring well, having a great nest egg) and replacing them with a whole new way of living. Readers can lead a rich life by working only four hours a week, freeing up the rest of their time to spend it living the lives they want.Inspiration Books
