Does a 4 hour work week sound like an inconceivable dream to you? Tim Ferriss, author of the bestselling book The 4 Hour Work Week, doesn’t think so. The man is living the dream. He’s living my dream. What would you do if you could escape the 9-5 job, live anywhere, do anything, and join the ‘new rich’?

Matt Propst suggested I pick up The 4 Hour Work Week from Amazon. I checked it out (here) and decided to buy a copy.

I’m only about 4 chapters in so I can’t give you a thorough review just yet, but from what I’ve read it’ going to be a very interesting read. What Ferriss is telling the readers is that you can be rich even if you only make $50,000 a year. Making 50k a year but being able to do what you want, when you want, and where you want is more valuable than someone who makes $250k a year but works 70 hours a week and is on call 24/7. Which life would you rather have?

The book promises to teach you how to focus on your goals and not waste time dilly dallying around (something I have a problem with).

It preaches that we need to outsource our work so we can take adventures and plan mini-retirements. Why wait until your 65 years old to start having fun? Start living life on your own terms and pick up his book.
