| Professional Review: |
| 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. |

 Written on November 16, 2008 Summary: a great read i really enjoyed this book. It's a stimulant to get your bum and give your idea a crack.  Written on November 16, 2008 Summary: Easy and runny read about a hustler's get rich quick triumphs. This was a quick and easy read for a novice. The antecdotes were funny and I admired the author's tenacity. I think his point was that it is important to enjoy the ride and try to get rich doing it. Find something that you love and market the hell out of it on infomercials and internet retailers. I mean I guess it worked for him. I took his words as a little inspiration not a mathematical formula for happiness and success. Written on November 11, 2008 Summary: Can we all have it all? Can we all have it all? I just don't know... this guy's story is amazing. The tips are priceless... I don't see my work week trimming down to 4 hours though, any time soon... Still, I loved his humor, his style of writing (which is witty and inspiring), and his lust for living. Written on November 9, 2008 Summary: Great resources, expands thinking, one caveat I was recently looking over my Amazon reviews and realised that the only time I bother writing a review is when I really love or really hate a book. This one falls into the "really love" category. Although I am a business owner, I really do love what I do, so working four hours a week isn't really my goal. Giving myself the option of buggering off to Fiji or Buenos Aires or Vietnam and being able to run my business by remote control for a couple of (or few) weeks, however, really does appeal. With that in mind, I found a ton of great ideas and insights in this book, and overlaying those insights and ideas onto my own goals and ethics, I have accomplished a lot. I wouldn't have heard of Elance if it weren't for this book, and have now outsourced about 90 jobs to people who have done them better than I could have and let me spend my time doing the stuff I do best. In the book, much is made of how cheap many Elance suppliers are ($2 an hour an up), but I never had the stomach for hiring someone at starvation wages, so hire at higher rates. I wouldn't have heard of many productivity tools - at least not some of the better ways to us them - like LogMeIn and Skype with SkypeIn and SkypeOut. These have been godsends when I work overseas and on holidays. Finally, it just shook me out of the "it's my business, so I have to do it all myself" mindset. I've developed a sideline business that pretty much runs itself, have other people doing the non-core parts of my business, and have much sleeker communications options. Travelling is easier. Holidaying is easier. As for Tim Ferriss, I will say he comes off in this book as something of an uber-selfish egomaniac. I'm pretty okay with that. As I said before, he's got a lot of good ideas and I'm willing to learn from anyone. I (and you) don't have to worship at the mantle of his apparent mindset, and have definitely found room for many of his techniques in my much different lifestyle. I've given this book as a gift about 15 times, now, and that's the warning I always include with the book. The good news is that everyone I know that has read it has enjoyed the way it expands their vision about the options they have and the resources they have available. So, with that one small warning in mind, I give it five stars. Written on November 7, 2008 Summary: Used it to help teach kids about money...good book A lot of useful information for people looking to escape the old model of making a living. I was able to use of this information in helping myself create a booklet to help parents teach their kids about money How To Raise Kids So They Don't End Up Broke! (Kindle Edition) and it's a great resource for outsourcing your life. |
