Exceptional Idea! Well presented and loaded with realistic strategies and tools to make it work.
Warning, this is not a book about time management.
I'm often skeptical of books with titles like this because what they promise is so far outside the likelihood of reality that they just feel like hype. Ferriss on the other hand has taken a concept that is hard for must of us to even consider and made it possible.
Now, it is unlikely that I'll live like the New Rich that he talks about in his book in terms of the hours that I'll spend in my business . . . but even as I write this I have to ask myself why not?
Tim's focus on getting your information under control is cutting edge and frightening. If the idea of only checking your email two times a day scares you, this book will terrify you.
My only criticism of the book is that it doesn't spend enough time helping people who probably forgot what it was that they'd like to do because they've spent so much time buried in their 60 - 80 hour work weeks, rediscover that passion and sense of exploration. Even though he says in the book that it isn't just for 20 somethings who want to live a vagabond lifestyle, there is definately a tad more information focused there. And, I don't find that too surprising, Tim is in that age group and he is speaking from his current experience. This is a very minor criticism though because there was so much easy to use and actionable information in the book. This is a well done guide you'll refer back to often.
I love this book and am buying a copy for everyone in my organization because I think that the ideals inside are the ideals that that make good entrepreneurial companies great.
Whether you think it is possible to work a 4 hour work week or not, get this book and you'll recover many of the hours you are spending away from the life you want now.
