The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss (2007, Hardcover)

Author Timothy Ferriss has jam packed a wealth of information into this book. Although only 30-ish, he has "been there, done that and bought the T-shirt" in an amazing array of life experiences. While I am not desirous of racing motorcycles in Europe, I do find Mr. Ferriss's ideas to be an excellent stimulant for helping one to think outside the box.

I bought the book because it appeared to be more cutting edge than the run-of-the-mill fodder sometimes found in this genre. I was not disappointed!

While I find concepts such as going on a low-information diet interesting, I would not cut back as far as Ferris in my own work life. Nevertheless, the book is full of ways to minimize time wasters. Limiting E-mail consumption and production was, in my opinion, one of the best topics in the book.

Timonty Ferriss is a brilliant young entrepreneur, with an uncanny ability to not take himself seriously. The tone of the book is lighthearted, and yet there is much wisdom in it.

I write resumes for a living, so I hear about people's jobs all day long. I will definitely recommend The 4-Hour Workweek to my clients who need a new perspective.
