I know there are a ton of good books out there, but this is one of the best I've read in a looooong time.

http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/ and http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/

I won't bore you with the details about why I think it's so great. Just check out the site and blog for yourself and I'm SURE you'll see that it's just an awesome resource.

Enjoy!

I got the audio version and never finished it. It just didn't click with me. I plan on listening to it again b/c there were many items I did like.

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

What I liked most about that book was not so much the "4 hour workweek" aspect (I enjoy "working", and so does Tim Ferriss, by the sounds of it), but his argument that the current model of work is nonsensical.

Spending eight hours a day in a cubicle - whether we're being productive or not, and regardless of the amount of work we have to do - makes no sense, and very few people are challenging the current paradigm.

I'm quite familiar with the 4 Work Week - I've read/listened to it twice. I think it has a lot of helpful tips to help you reduce distractions and focus on work that matters, however, I think a lot of the advice is unrealistic for people with families and 9-5 jobs.

You have to realize it was written by a single-guy who runs his own business. He's in a position to call all the shots and makes it sound easy, but you may find your situation isn't textbook and requires a little more finesse.

Seems like everyone has read and re-read this book! Yet, this is the first I have heard of it...

I am definitely going to be adding 4 Hour Work Week to my library.

There has been a lot of hype about the book and, like everything else, some of it is quite useful; however, most of it cannot be applied to my present situation.
