A review by davechua
The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss

3.0

A grab bag of ideas about outsourcing yourself and carving out time from work. Some points I have to agree; meetings are a pain and often a time waster, clear e-mails help, do stuff in batches and having loads of stuff/luxuries is often a burden. There's plenty of stuffing in the book; Ferriss hasn't met a quote he doesn't like and fills the pages using them with a vengeance, and each chapter is rounded up with links to website. There's a nagging suspicion that most of the writing of the has been outsourced but overall, Ferriss does make some valid points. Still a lot of the stuff here is for those in the US, and I'm not entirely convinced one can just pack up and go for mini-retirement vacations when you have kids in tow.
