Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Okey, Comment: I like the book and it is worth the money. But there is a but... The 4-hour workweek. Would not we all like to have it like that! I can not read it without getting a feeling that the authors way to his own 4-hour week is making money by living on others dream of a no work and earning money. The book does not come up with any not earlier written subjects but still it is quite entertaining and some real tips to your lifestyle design can be found. Buy it but it is in no way a bible to the subject but rather a small ignition to your own new lifestyle. It surely more helps the person who may caught up in the squirrel wheel of the business world rather than the CEO which it is flirting with. It does not reach 4 out of 5 because to me it has a tone of that "serious work" is not cool, which I do not like. 3/5 for this kind of "self development" kind of book is not bad though. Best Regards Chris Customer Rating: Summary: It's All About Mindset Comment: A lot of people criticize this book based on the title and the author's seemingly over the top claims of free money and a life of leisure interrupted by short bursts of activity that just can't be avoided. Some people ask "Who will be working if everyone only worked for four hours week?". It all depends on how you define 'WORK'. In Ferris's world, 'WORK' is whatever you don't want to do. Maybe what you do for fun is work to someone else and what you think of as work is fun to someone else. Here's a practical example. Last summer, I hired someone to mow my lawn. The guy pulls up with a trailer full of equipment and half an hour later, he's gone and my grass looks great. It cost me $35.00. If I had done that work myself it would have cost me 4 hours of my life that I can never get back. Instead, it cost me $35.00 and I went to lunch and a movie with my wife. I hate yard work, but the guy who mows my lawn, LIKES it and he likes getting paid for it. Conversely, I've spent upwards of 20 hours working on some particularly tricky computer problem and I didn't charge the client a dime, because it was fun and I learned some things that now save me time nearly every day. It was fun for me, but some people would consider it work. In Tim Ferris's world, neither of us is really working. He says in the book "Eliminate before you delegate". It's about eliminating as much unnecessary BS as you can then delegating the rest, so you only have to address the things that truly cannot be avoided. Why is that bad? I like the book a lot. I had already done some of the stuff he describes. I almost never answer the phone and I use e-mail for all business related communication, because it's faster and I can use the e-mail as a record of the week's events. I've also raised my rates to get rid of some whiny cheapskates who were sucking up all of my time and making me miserable. Now, I do less work, but make the same amount of money. Why is that bad? Ferris carries it to an extreme that I wouldn't have considered until I had read the book. I'm not saying everything here is practical or even desirable, but it does have some good tips on how to manage your time and eliminate unnecessary activity so you have time to do more of what you like. Depending on how you define work, this book is great otherwise it's just hype. It's all about mind set. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Comment: I'll keep this short. Great book. First half: setting the mindset. Second half: a wealth of practical tips and resources. This book opens up a whole new range of possibilities. It's a must buy. Customer Rating: Summary: a great read Comment: i really enjoyed this book. It's a stimulant to get your bum and give your idea a crack. Customer Rating: Summary: Easy and runny read about a hustler's get rich quick triumphs. Comment: This was a quick and easy read for a novice. The antecdotes were funny and I admired the author's tenacity. I think his point was that it is important to enjoy the ride and try to get rich doing it. Find something that you love and market the hell out of it on infomercials and internet retailers. I mean I guess it worked for him. I took his words as a little inspiration not a mathematical formula for happiness and success. More Reviews
