Great book， I like most the first part when he explains what he think what a new rich is， and the last part when there're the testimonies that Tim received。 Great book， I like most the first part when he explains what he think what a new rich is， and the last part when there're the testimonies that Tim received。 。。。more

A lot of great ideas but it feels very outdated。

Never underestimate the power of saying no。 It teaches useful lessons about minimizing work。 They are based 20/80 rule。 Overall， I am inspired and ready to try everything I have learned from it。 Travelling the world， spending quality time with family and working smart。

Amazing book。 Gave me a new way to look at how I approach my career and life as a whole。 Interesting content， felt like there were gems every page。 One of my top recommendations in the self help category， great book to learn how to free up some extra time in your life for your own goals。Note: at some points the author made some recommendations that are much easier sounding than reality

I like Tim and his writing style。 Some valuable points are raised in this book。 The philosophy is self-entered and entrenched in new age romanticism though。

If you really want to become lazier and see your results going down instantly that's the right book for you！ It leaves all to outsourcing and delegating。 As an example: one of the best quotes I've read in the book is to give your business to outsourcers for support and tell them "my customers are your customers" - Do whatever you want！ If you really want to become lazier and see your results going down instantly that's the right book for you！ It leaves all to outsourcing and delegating。 As an example: one of the best quotes I've read in the book is to give your business to outsourcers for support and tell them "my customers are your customers" - Do whatever you want！ 。。。more

I’m very conflicted on this book。 On one hand it does offer some good advice （investments really do pay off， and it includes some good philosophical stuff like finding what makes you happy， don’t wait for retirement， etc） but the rest of the book is just overwhelmingly capitalistic （not in a good way）。 Like， his method is just to exploit people lol

4。5 stars。 Quite long but I am the type of person that loves a detailed list of what to do and he really walks you through everything， so it all felt like relevant and practical information。

I totally loved this book to start then it just slowed down and got way too nitty gritty with the “how to” of drop shipping and creating a product and kind of lost me

Best tip from the book: stop reading books you dislike。 In fact， I stopped reading this one

'The 4-Hour Workweek' started off really great， as Tim Ferris provided great advice on how to limit time consuming tasks， become more productive and intentional with life。 However， towards the middle， this book transformed into a list of bullet points and the end was literally him repeating exactly what he already said。 （I get it - emails suck， hire a virtual assistant。 This really didnt need to be repeated multiple times）。 As I've stepped away from my 9-5 job recently， I found some parts of thi 'The 4-Hour Workweek' started off really great， as Tim Ferris provided great advice on how to limit time consuming tasks， become more productive and intentional with life。 However， towards the middle， this book transformed into a list of bullet points and the end was literally him repeating exactly what he already said。 （I get it - emails suck， hire a virtual assistant。 This really didnt need to be repeated multiple times）。 As I've stepped away from my 9-5 job recently， I found some parts of this book helpful， though it took time to swift through the repetition。Also， I would definitely recommended his podcast over this book。 He came off as bit of a 'douchebag' （for a lack of a better word 。。。） in this book， whereas I definitely dont get this impression about him through his podcast。 。。。more

Me leí este libro pues es un bestseller muy mencionado por algunas personas que sigo o podcasts que escucho。Da algunos consejos objetivamente buenos， especialmente los relativos a la gestión del tiempo y de estar presente en el momento， ya sea ocio o trabajo。 También comenta que no se debe buscar en el trabajo la felicidad que deberían otorgar las relaciones personales。Imagino que en las enumerables listas de consejos y formas de proceder que va escupiendo （las cuales te hacen desconectar un poc Me leí este libro pues es un bestseller muy mencionado por algunas personas que sigo o podcasts que escucho。Da algunos consejos objetivamente buenos， especialmente los relativos a la gestión del tiempo y de estar presente en el momento， ya sea ocio o trabajo。 También comenta que no se debe buscar en el trabajo la felicidad que deberían otorgar las relaciones personales。Imagino que en las enumerables listas de consejos y formas de proceder que va escupiendo （las cuales te hacen desconectar un poco， pues no suelen ser supuestos aplicables） también habrá algo de valor， pero meh。 Digamos que hasta aquí lo bueno。Lo malo， como es común en este tipo de libros， es que es clasista as fvck。 Por supuesto considera a la clase media estúpida porque viven una vida de frustraciones pues no tienen la capacidad de diseñar sus vidas o el valor para cambiarlas， algo sorprendente para "los millonarios" pues es algo facilísimo para ellos。El título es el que es porque， spoiler alert， consiste en que automatices y delegues absolutamente todo， y te da 3 posibles caminos para el diseño de tu producto o servicio y en general tu vida， la cuál podrá ser llevada a cabo viajando y haciendo lo que quieres （algo que en su fecha quizá era más inviable de lo real que es ahora mismo， por ejemplo）。 。。。more

While I do think there are some interesting ideas in this book， these ideas were delivered with so much haughtiness and condescension that I had a hard time being open to the author’s suggestions。 Part of that may be because I listened to this as an audiobook， and in that format it felt like I was being yelled/ranted at for 6 hours。 The other part is probably the ruthless way the author slashes out any thoughts or actions that are in any way unprofitable or impractical。 While I get the point， I While I do think there are some interesting ideas in this book， these ideas were delivered with so much haughtiness and condescension that I had a hard time being open to the author’s suggestions。 Part of that may be because I listened to this as an audiobook， and in that format it felt like I was being yelled/ranted at for 6 hours。 The other part is probably the ruthless way the author slashes out any thoughts or actions that are in any way unprofitable or impractical。 While I get the point， I don’t think I could do mercilessly cut out ever trivial aspect of my life just because he says so。 I like doing my budget and checking my email more than once every two weeks， ok？？ Gosh。 Anyway， my recommendation for this book would be to skim through the suggestions and take what works for you。 。。。more

The 4-Hour Work Week is about escaping the 9-5 rat race， giving yourself the freedom to work anywhere and still be successful。 It is not about working longer hours， but about working less and still getting the same， if not better results。 In many ways， Ferriss' book is a culmination of years of trial-and-error methods。 Tim’s work is substantial and can be considered as a reference piece than a casual read。 The contents of the book are compelling enough to change your mindset towards work。 Tim f The 4-Hour Work Week is about escaping the 9-5 rat race， giving yourself the freedom to work anywhere and still be successful。 It is not about working longer hours， but about working less and still getting the same， if not better results。 In many ways， Ferriss' book is a culmination of years of trial-and-error methods。 Tim’s work is substantial and can be considered as a reference piece than a casual read。 The contents of the book are compelling enough to change your mindset towards work。 Tim focuses on changing a reader's mindset concerned about work， finance， and retirement。 The book effectively encapsulates the real potential of the internet revolution and also discusses its limitless possibilities。 This is an influential book that will teach you that wealth isn't all about money， it's about creating time to do the things you love！ 。。。more

This is every bit the tech bro manifesto you think it is， but it also has some solid gems。 Really loved the “not to do list” and learning to manage inputs/distractions if you’re going to maximize outputs。

A book about saving time wastes way too much of it on case studies that add nothing of value and only serve as a vehicle for the authors exhaustingly smug prose。 Read the first two parts and then move on。

Given my allergy to the guy， I was surprised to discover that the book is legit; I mean it's largely obsolete by now， but I do understand why it became such a hit （despite the totally off-putting， boastful author， number one on my private list of famous people I would NOT like to meet）。 My key reservations have do to with the ethics of some of the strategies。 Cutting corners， telling half-truths or straight lies - you may win here and there， but overall seems like a recipe for a pretty miserable Given my allergy to the guy， I was surprised to discover that the book is legit; I mean it's largely obsolete by now， but I do understand why it became such a hit （despite the totally off-putting， boastful author， number one on my private list of famous people I would NOT like to meet）。 My key reservations have do to with the ethics of some of the strategies。 Cutting corners， telling half-truths or straight lies - you may win here and there， but overall seems like a recipe for a pretty miserable life。 。。。more
