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.

Timothy Ferriss draws the model of the New Rich. These people understood that the right moment to live your dreams is here and now. You should leave your old job and establish your own business that can support your dream life. Live like a millionaire without actually be one.
His formula, DEAL, is made of four components:
Definition – according to the Pareto Principle, you should recognize 20% of the things you do that bring you to 80% of the desired outcomes. Be effective – not efficient, and focus on the few things that make significant progress;
Elimination – save time by “Data Detox” and removal of distractions;
Automation – create “autopilot” that assist you and manage tasks on behalf of you;
Liberation – learn how to release.
