Tim Ferriss is the author of The 4-Hour Workweek, a New York Times bestseller that incorporates the Pareto Principle and Parkinson’s Law into a lifestyle of reduced working hours and more personal free time.
After graduating from Princeton University, where he earned a degree in East Asian Studies, Tim started his first business selling nutritional supplements at the age 23. Since selling his business, he has become a Guinness Book Of World Records holder in tango and a host of his own program on the History Channel. Currently working as an angel investor, in 2011 Tim announced he would publish a third book, The 4-Hour Chef. The book is being released by Amazon.com and is expected to become available for purchase in April 2012.
The 4-Hour Workweek is Tim Ferriss’ first book. Detailing his personal experiences of success and failures in ‘lifestyle design,’ the book provides readers with a clear road map on how to outsource mundane work, reduce clutter and information overload to create smooth income streams and more free time.
The author believes that pursuing dreams and goals now is more important than deferring them until after retirement, and his book promotes a variety of lifestyle design options that give readers exciting alternatives to the ordinary 9-5 routine.

4 stars for the summary
2 for the advice in the book
typical of books like this, the advice is go find "x"
"x" a good country
"x" a good wife
"x" a good employer
"x" a method to body hack against the poisons in your environment
or this book
"x" a great product that you can invent or buy cheaply and sell at a minimum of 30% mark-up.
Yea! Brilliant!
That is the entire book.
Find a great product that you can invent or but cheaply and sell at a minimum of 30% mark-up. And, sell it online with other people doing fulfillment, marketing and customer service while you trip around the world on never ending always expanding profits.
Selling a dream is what this lad is up to. Good luck. Though I did meet an EU ponce dance trash boy that sells 11$ grills from China for $300 in Europe. Maybe there is something to be said, but the subtext would have to be "there's a sucker born every minute."

If you're and entrepreneur or own your own company this book can definitely impact your view on the typical 9-5. We have so much control over time, but get stuck in the standard time structure we are taught. As Yoda said "We must unlearn what we have learned". This book has some great ideas to get you not just "living the dream" but "living YOUR dream".
These are some questions that came to my mind after reading this book.
What do you image your ideal workday looking?
What's holding you back from that family vacation today?
When would now be a good time to start working out,
volunteer extra at church, or to try that hobby you've been thinking about?
These are just a few of the questions we can start to answer once we start rethinking our workweek.

This was great! I can’t compare it to the whole book but I felt like I got some good tips out of it while not having to spend hours reading the parts that don’t apply/I don’t agree with.
