Read the Four Hour Work Week
I often frequent the business section at Barnes and Noble and no other book has changed my philosophy on small business more than the Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss. If you haven’t read this book, you should – you will be in for a treat.
Here’s my one sentence summary of the book.
Tim Ferriss teaches you how to take control of your life.
The book is more about small business, outsourcing, and world travel. This book is about changing your philosophy about life. Tim discusses the term life deferment. This refers to the typical nine to five working schedule where many adults delay actually living their life until they plan on retiring. This isn’t the way I want to live. This isn’t the way I want anyone I care about to live.
I want every person I know to live on their terms. I want to be able to go to every one of my kid’s soccer games when they get older. I don’t want to be told I have to be in an office for 8 or 9 hours a day.
Tim’s work is the closest blueprint for taking control of your life that I have ever read. I want everyone I care about to read this book and take control of their life.
Tim, thank you for writing this book. I am sure you have helped thousands of people across the globe take control of their life.
