Transform the way you think
In this book, Timothy Ferriss gives us step by step process for reducing the amount of time we actually spend working. He makes a strong case for not waiting until retirement to travel and do the things you want to do, by promoting the idea of mini-retirements. He endorses the concept of outsourcing by giving simple instructions, including company names for outsourcing. His thoughts on lifestyle design changed the way I was viewing what is possible in my life.
Though this book is edgy and has caused many people to poke holes in his theory, it was well worth the time it took to read it. As a business coach, I am assigning this book to my clients and we are extracting the concepts that make individual sense, and creating execution strategies to implement them.
Even if you don't agree with every part of Tim's philosophy (and I didn't), you can gain by reading this book because it makes you re-consider what you thought to be true, and promotes uncommon thinking. This kind of thinking is what causes positive transformation in your life and your business.

Review # 700 - Excellent!
This book is actually a course in time-management and e-commerce entrepreneurship. Tim Ferris is brilliant!
You Can Have Your Cake And Eat It Too
Hi Everyone,
Yes, the book is not perfect, it has flaws. But as a role model Timothy shows us that positive aggression, awareness and assertiveness can get us our needs met.
The main needs this book addresses is being liberated from a desk job so you can travel if you want, and being liberating from working like a slave. I have already been on a track of working for myself but this book was still helpful. I learned some good marketing techniques, and got to see insight on how to get a small online business up and running. I wouldn't hang on too tightly to the examples given of online businesses the concept of creating income creatively is what is more important.
Timothy is open to many possibilities for success and he teaches readers that you can
live
life according to a
new
set of rules. Why sit around and have a boring, unfulfilling life and waste time working. Rather, work effectively, take control, and live your dreams. What is great about this message is that Timothy shows us a method for doing this. Find a way to make money that doesn't require you. Be the boss. Probably the best tip from the book is to not waste time. Timothy emphasizes spending our time on where we are most effective, and not wasting our time wandering through life without intention.
I think this is a great book that will help many people switch to more pleasurable careers.

Tremendous Read
Tim writes an amazing boook and provides great website links to at least get you started on your path to the "
New
Rich
". This is a must read for anyone with aspirations to make a little bit more of their life.
Major word of caution... Be careful who you give this book to. If the wrong person (IE: Your Boss) gets their hands on the book, some tactics will become much less useful.
Great Book!
This is a very great book for those that are trying to find freedom and a lifestyle, that normally would have to wait until you retire.
