The 4-Hour Work Week in the Real World

I should say that when I first saw Tim Ferriss speak at SXSW this past March, I didn’t like the 4-Hour Work Week idea.  Of course I liked the idea of working only 4 hours, who wouldn’t?   I just didn’t like his over simplification of what it would take to do that.

One of the books I’m most recently excited about is Tim Ferriss’s 4-Hour Work Week. I actually caught Tim live at SXSW last February, but I didn’t really get interested in his book until I read a great review and decided to give it a read.  I was blown away by it.  Like a lot [...]
