I recently had the chance to read this book by Tim Ferriss; and for the most part, I really enjoyed it. It’s the kind of book that will have you thinking long after you finish reading it. It is a little drawn out in the earlier stages (as are most self help books), and there is a lot of explaining it’s methods, but none the less, I would recommend this book. Below is an overview of ‘The Four Hour Workweek’. Enjoy – Matt Stone
Whether you’re an overworked employee or an entrepreneur trapped in your own business, The 4-Hour Workweek is the compass for a new and revolutionary world.
You can have it all—really.
Join Tim Ferriss, popular guest lecturer in entrepreneurship at Princeton University, as he teaches you:

- How blue-chip escape artists travel the world without quitting their jobs
- How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using the principles of little-known European economists
- How to train your boss to value performance over presence, or kill your job (or company) if it’s beyond repair
- How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and frequent “mini-retirements”
- What automated cash-flow “muses” are and how to create one in 2-4 weeks
- How to cultivate selective ignorance—and create time—with a low-information diet
- Management secrets of Remote Control CEO’s
