While I do think that there is some very good and valid information in this book, I believe even more, however, that Tim Ferris uses this book to push people into chasing an ideal. Of course, you can work from anywhere in the world on the internet. People have been shipped all around the world and can prove that exact point. However, does that …
Poorly written
There were a lot of great tidbits to improve efficiency. I am a big fan of books that challenge norms and 4-Hour Work Week challenges a lot of work norms that we face everyday.
Good information. Easy read.
This books allows one the re evaluate things. The author connects to the reader.
The 4-Hour Workweek is in my top 10 impactful books. Tim Ferris’ out of the box thinking was eye-opening and caused me to look at how I operate through a different set of lenses. Thanks Tim for writing this book!
A fun read with a lot of great tips. Ignited the self improvement genre.
One of those books that try to offer general rules derived from a special case difficult to repeat. But it is worth reading.
Changed the way I think about time and work.
Life-changing read. Awesome choice for everyone wanting to break out of negative recurring patterns in their lives. Great book!
Game Changer

unstopible
Excellent book with lots of great ideas and how to implement them into your life.
Tim Ferris is a trailblazer with the approaches in this book. The goal, as the author has stated, is not necessarily to get you to where you are just working 4 hours per week but to inventively get you to a place of freedom and flexibility where you can control your work week, career and ultimately your life. As with almost any groundbreaking …
I bought this book and didn’t read it for 4 years. I thought, I’ll get around to it. On my journey building a networking marketing company I listened to this book in the car on my way to and from the office. I got so much out of it. If you’ve ever thought about working remote or building a business that functions without you- this book is for you. …
