The 4 Hour Work Week
April 26, 2007 by Greg
Perusing my favorite blogs this week I ran across an interview with Tim Ferris, author of the new book “The 4 Hour Work Week.” Seeing that I am a man of little inclination towards a 40 hour work week, I was immediately intrigued. Digging deeper it appears the book is all about automating your life, something I’ve already started doing.
In his new book he outlines how to:
- How to outsource your life to overseas virtual assistants for $5 per hour and do whatever you want
- How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using the principles of a forgotten Italian economist
- How to train your boss to value performance over presence, or kill your job (or company) if it’s beyond repair
- How to get free housing worldwide and airfare at 50–80% off
Personally it sounds like “the secret of rich dad’s snake oil” to me, but hey, I’ll give anything a shot two or three times. Check out The 4 Hour Work Week at amazon. Tim also has a blog setup with fun entries like How to Live Like a Rock Star in Buenos Aires.
I know someone with a Kitchen Aide Mixer… It’s real nice.
HOLY SHIZNIT.. that article on Buenos Aires is out of control.
Does this mean we could get Honey for $5 an hour..?
Honey, we’re ready.
