Our 4-Hour Workweek

Rana Rosen reviewed Tim Ferriss's 4-Hour Workweek on her blog LiveMint.com, titled "Are you Auto Liberated?" Rana contends, "If you ignore some of its ridiculous tips, this book could be your road to professional nirvana." All-in-all, Rana seems to respect and agree with Ferriss's main messages. To wit:

"Somehow, Ferriss makes this too-easy-to-be-true scheme seem plausible with a book that is engaging as a read and provocative as a philosophy, although sometimes ridiculous. He provides inspiration, coaching and specific advice (including worksheets, checklists, inside tips and resources) on getting his life—down to finding a business to start and mentors to help make it successful. His concept has caused a stir in the US, he has appeared on popular shows such as Live with Regis and Kelly, The Today Show and on NBC.

The book is worth reading at least because a) its boldness must be admired b) its philosophy may actually be touching on a cultural shift in the next generation and how it approaches work and c) it has contrarian ideas that are useful. But, for most people, a four-hour workweek or what he calls “Income Autopilot” will remain a dream."

Not only is this book worth reading, we believe Ferriss's concepts are worth implementing. And so we are.
