The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9–5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich Audiobook

" Tims book gives you new, easy to apply on ideas on how to turn your 9-5 life into a more flexible lifestyle. I love it and have already applied some of his ideas. "

" I listened to the audiobook. It's so good, I'm reading it again - literally, I'm reading it again, right now. "

" Excellent book which made me think differently about my career and what possibilities are out there. "

" Entertaining, not sure about their philosophy. Sounds good but hard to believe. "

" Love the outside of the box thinking this inspires. Got me pumped up to really move forward with what I wanted to do with my life next - now, I'm doing it. "

" This book surely made a difference in how I interact with business associates. I don't recommend using these tactics on every single person you encounter in the workforce (you will be seen as just down right rude), however, very good advice for those co-workers and associates that would like to take advantage of you and how to set boundaries. "

" This was kind of a silly book. Ferris gives you a road map to a 4-hour workweek, but his road map is simply a documentation of what he did to achieve it and how you could do the same thing. He's pretty opinionated and oversimplifies things, so if you don't share his values or priorities, it's all going to come across as pretty ridiculous. For example, he assumes that everyone wants to travel the world and do "exciting things" (like learning to dance, or whatever) in their free time. Read this book if you want to learn how to wean yourself off your current job through increased telecommuting and productivity, and if you want to start making money on the side by creating a product to sell, then outsourcing the customer service and distribution, in order to fund your world travel adventures. If this doesn't sound like the ideal life to you, then don't bother with this book. Ferris comes across as an egomaniac on a power trip, flaunting how he bucks the system. Meanwhile, I find myself wondering if this guy has any meaningful relationships since he spends all his time gallivanting across the world from one thrill to the next. "

" I need excitement. I need travel. I need a south asian virtual assistant. These are some of the points that the author makes in this book. I want to do a lot of the things he prescribes to maximize productivity and self actualization. All the personal business construction aside the travel tips at the conclusion of the book are worth borrowing it from which Type A friend you have that has decided to quit their job and give Vagabonding a go. "

" Not great for everyone - but for those looking for challenge and excitement in their career there are some serious gems in here. "

" Some great ideas and concepts.....will get you thinking. Be prepared to want to give up the day job! "

" Changed my perception of work, travel, streamlining life, and "dreamlining". This is the single most important book so far in my professional career, albeit quite simplistic. "

" Really made me think, will probably read it again in and make it something I read once a year. January is a particularly good time to read b/c there are a lot of potential new year's resolutions in this book. "

" This is a book to own just for the contact info. "

" Interesting concepts in the book, depending on your job maybe quasi-practical. However the book is very idealistic, although its nice to dream every so often. "

" title sounds like a joke, but there's a lot to take out of here, and a lot of other resources to read. already implementing some of the suggestions, and thinking about ways to move onto the bigger ones. "

" Some of his methods seem dishonest and unethical, but there are some good ideas in here. "

" Interesting... I think I liked it, but can't really tell. Currently, the information doesn't apply to much of my life business-wise, but I can possibly see myself pulling in some of his tips in the near future. "

" The beginning and the end of the book produced some good thoughts in my mind about my future and my present. The writer included a lot of links needed after him for the personal development. I think a person who wants to start a business will find this book impressive. "

" Just finished the First edition. Cant wait to read the expanded version! "

" my second read... and it's better than ever "

" This title has won, by far, the BCOY prize in my list (Best Crap Of the Year). Couldn't even finish the second chapter. Recommended only if you find yourself in a lost island and need to burn something to warm up... "

" Read & re-read. Found it very useful a a great testament to what is possible in the 21st Century! "

" I always dream of having such a relax and peaceful life. How can we get it in Vietnam? :( "

" Awesome read. Very insightful tips on how to produce more with less by leveraging what is available. "

" A must read book and seriously a life changing one. Back in 2008 this book inspired us to move to a new country and engineer our business to support our personal goals in life. When you do that everyday going to work is an exciting adventure! "

" Interesting... I think I liked it, but can't really tell. Currently, the information doesn't apply to much of my life business-wise, but I can possibly see myself pulling in some of his tips in the near future. "

" I don't agree with everything in this book, but some very interesting thoughts indeed! "

" I avoided reading this because I thought it was going to be a scam of epic proportions. But, it was really helpful! Again, Tim thinks outside the box, so if that's your thing (or you want it to be), I recommend it. "

" While some things are not applicable directly to my situation, it's certainly a thought provoking read. "

" 2.5 probably. God I find him obnoxious. "

" This book actually influenced me a lot, as resistant as I was. Reccomend it for anyone interested in writing their own script "

" This book, while interesting, kind of drove me crazy. Clearly the author doesn't have children or family or anything that needs taking care of. He is free to wander around the world, pursuing his dreams. I don't feel that I have that freedom. But some of his ideas were interseting. "
