nsahmarani 's review for:
The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
by Timothy Ferriss
It's interesting to read all the negative reviews of this book. Although I agree with some of what is being said about the book at times preaching for close to immoral attitude, I believe that richness in content and tools made this book a significantly insightful read and I'd definitely recommend it.
However, certainly not the read for fresh grads or anyone just starting their career; and it will probably not resonate with them.
There are lots of VERY good stuff to learn from this book.
Tim makes good job at pointing out all the beliefs that prevents us from achieving our aspirations and he does that in a fun and entertaining way.
Moreover, the book is full of resources, tools, exercises, and stories on how you challenge and move away from these beliefs.
The business tips are abundant in a well structured way.
If this book doesn't change your mindset, it will definitely make you re-evaluate a lot of your beliefs on work and life. And for me, that's what a good book should do.
One of the key insights for me was the idea that 'creating more free time is NOT the answer', because if you don't have an alternative 'vehicle of productivity' you will be more dissatisfied on the long run and you will resort to fill it with unimportant work to feel productive again.
Pages of scribbled notes lay next to me ending this book full of 'dreamlines', questions to be answered, and a decision to add more life to my life.
