Whether your dream is escaping the rat race, building passive income, travelling the world or creating a remote-working lifestyle, this book will show you how.

In The 4-Hour Workweek, entrepreneur and bestselling author Tim Ferriss shares the practical steps he used to go from earning $40,000 a year and working 80 hours a week to earning $40,000 per MONTH while working just 4 hours a week.

This step-by-step guide to financial freedom reveals how to:

  • Outsource tasks and automate your workload
  • Eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours
  • Build more freedom, flexibility and work-life balance
  • Trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and frequent ‘mini-retirements’


This updated edition also includes:

  • Practical tips and case studies from readers who doubled their income and reinvented their lives
  • Real-world templates for eliminating email and negotiating with bosses and clients
  • Lifestyle design strategies for thriving in uncertain economic times
  • The latest tools, productivity hacks and high-tech shortcuts for living like a diplomat or millionaire without being either


If you want more freedom, flexibility and control over your time, this is the blueprint.

Yeh. It's ok. Some good new info for me but I don't buy it all. I didn't keep my copy - it's not an eternally relevant book. One thing I really liked was that all the references and bibliography are available online instead of wasting trees. Great and innovative idea.

The book is awesome, don't get me wrong there's a few bits I skipped over that were of no genuine interest to me or completely off scale for my profession. But, certain sections of this book taught me about life, how time is more valuable than money, and happiness is more valuable than both!
