Despite certain chapters being less necessary today, many of the themes and lessons taught in the book are great incentives or goals and contain great general knowledge about how exactly to make your life more efficient and enjoyable.

There is nothing in this book that hasn't been written, in a more engaging and accessible way, elsewhere. Ferriss comes across as the worst stereotypes of the "wall-street bro," and also a narcissistic asshole.

There might be some good ideas about time management in this, but you can't find them underneath Ferriss's epic ego.

La première partie était bien sur l'organisation de son temps de travail. Le reste sur comment il a monté son business et a fait le maximum pour ne plus devoir s'en occuper reste un "marché" de niche. Son point de vue sur le travail ne correspond pas au mien pour faire court.

I took Timothy's own advice and skipped most of his book. It's arrogant and sometimes even unethical and mean. If only there was a "-10 stars" system on Goodreads. What a waste of energy.

Oops. forgot to put this up when I started a week ago. I listened to the audiobook for this. The audiobook was okay, but I think it's more beneficial to read the actual book.

Superinspirerend en hoopgevend.
Heel erg toegepast op de Amerikaanse situatie helaas, even kijken of er een Nederlandse/Europese toegepaste versie van is.

Good book over all with great ideas and things to help make your life better. There are many things that are not realistic for the normal everyday person, however that is one area that Tim Ferriss teaches in his book - strive for things unrealistic so you don't settle. There are many ideas presented in this book that I am interested in pursuing, including not limiting myself to a great vacation getaway even though I have kids and responsibilities.
