The 4-hour Work Week Full Book Pdf Free Download VERIFIED

Ferriss developed the ideas present in The 4-Hour Workweek (4HWW) while working 14-hour days at his sports nutrition supplement company, BrainQUICKEN.[3] Frustrated by the overwork and lack of free time, Ferriss took a 3-week sabbatical to Europe. During that time and continued travels throughout Europe, Asia, and South America, Ferriss developed a streamlined system of checking email once per day and outsourcing small daily tasks to virtual assistants.[4] His personal escape from a workaholic lifestyle was the genesis of the book.[5]

The format of The 4-Hour Workweek took shape during a series of lectures Ferriss delivered on high-tech entrepreneurship at Princeton University, his alma mater.[6] The lectures (and book) described Ferriss's own experiences in company automation and lifestyle development.[6]

The New York Times noted that Ferriss spends far more than 4 hours per week in blogging and self-promotion, which Ferriss describes as "evangelizing."[7] USA Today commented: "If it all sounds too good to be true, maybe it is. Or maybe not. Clearly, selective ignorance, farming out chores and applying the 80/20 principle have paid off for Ferriss."[8] Wired praised the book's ideas for remote work and its pre-retirement advice, but faulted it for "formulaic writing" and that "nearly every idea [is] taken to an extreme. No sense of work being anything more than a paycheck".[9] Some reviewers noted that the book was quite lengthy and hard to read.[10] Leslie Garner of The Telegraph noted that the book had a "punchy writing style" and that Ferriss had "struck a chord with his critique of workers' slavish devotion to corporations."[11] Meagan Day of Jacobin criticized the book for advising readers to "become a fake expert."[12] Jimmy Wales, cofounder of Wikipedia, said that he secretly moved to Argentina for a month after reading the book.[13]

Timothy Ferriss and the 4-Hour Workweek is amazing. For years, I was super focused on lifestyle design and financial freedom, and I worked at it really hard, and I finally got it. It was amazing. I got to a point that I was financially free. I had a bunch of money coming in. My expenses were very low. I was stockpiling money. I wasn't really having to work that much. I had a good team around me. I was in my sweatpants working like 10-15 hours a week at home, and I was like, "This is it. I've achieved lifestyle design, 4-Hour Workweek, financial freedom, and time freedom. Done."

Then I became super depressed because.. well... there was nothing for me to do. I was like, "Oh, well, I've got money coming in, so I guess I don't really have to do anything because it's on auto-pilot, so I can do whatever." So I started picking up hobbies and doing other things. But here's the thing: Hobbies are hobbies for a reason. They're fun, but they're not your full path. They're not going to fulfill you. They're not going to make your life meaningful and significant. This is a huge mistake that I made. I went down this path and worked really hard to achieve it... and then realized it was empty.

Now, I don't blame anyone else. 4-Hour Workweek is brilliant. Timothy Ferriss is brilliant. I'm not blaming him at all. I'm blaming my application of it, which I thought was "get a bunch of money coming in, you don't really have to do that much, and then you're doing what you want". But just doing what you want all day gets pretty boring and gets pretty meaningless and gets pretty empty.

You're going to be bored if you're not doing impactful meaningful work. It can't just be all hobbies. I started doing Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and I started boxing and playing soccer more. It's like, yeah, those are cool. But that's not going to fulfill you deeply. Giving back, having impact, giving to others, being of service to everyone... that is really what's going to create meaning. And be fulfilling for you.

Learn from my mistakes. If you're on that path, that's awesome. Continue to execute. Continue to create financial freedom. Continue to skinny down on how much you're working, but use that as a platform, and this is what I think Timothy Ferriss was really going for: use it as a platform, as a launching tool, to get rid of the work that doesn't motivate you, so that you can actually focus on what you want to create in the world. So you can go out there and give back, be significant, be an impact, be of service to others, be of service to the world, figure out what the challenges are that you want to fix. What are you uniquely skilled at? What are your gifts? What are your strengths? What are your skills that you can take and put out into the world so that you can help? There's tons of people that need help. This world needs help... There's so much to be done with our time here.

Learn from my mistakes. You're smarter than me, for sure. I'm like mediocre smart. :) Keep on the path of financial freedom if you're on it. The lifestyle design, go for it. But in the back of your mind, understand that if you're just working 10 hours a week and you don't have a mission, you don't have an impact you're going after, you don't have a give-back that you're going after that's big, that's bigger than you, that's going to help you expand, then you are probably going to end up very unfulfilled, and I don't want that for you.

TSC tip: UGH- this was so difficult for me. I finally learned!! The hard way!! Lemme tell ya. I had trouble because I went from being a bartender who taught Pure Barre & blogging on my own ( so a total SOLOpreneur) to an entrepreneur with a team. The point is, I had a choice: do I grow & scale the business or continue to work as a solopreneur. I realized for the vision I have, I need to scale.

This post isn't really about working 4 hours a week, it just seemed like the most succinct way to ask, "has anyone here achieved a lifestyle where they don't HAVE to work that much and are able to spend most of their time doing things they want to?"

When I think of Ferriss' book, I don't think of a literal 4-hour work week. I think of a situation where you truly own most of your time and don't have to spend most of it on making a living if you don't want to.

While not exactly equivalent to the zero hour work week of financial independence, four hours do come pretty close, and so it could be the choice of those who do not want to hold full time career over 5 years to become financially independent.

The key requirement for this to work is, like with extreme early retirement, to either have an extremely large hourly rate or conversely, have an extremely low level of expenses. Here, I will go with the latter since there are more people capable of spending little (like $500 a month) than there are people capable of earning much (like $200/hour).

In comparison, $35 seem like a very high salary and in a sense it is, but it reflects the rarity of people with sufficient skills. Hence, and I can not stress this enough as part of the compleat ERE life strategy: You need to make yourself valuable and skilled in whatever you do. Be a little bit better than the competition (Not wasting time watching TV already puts you ahead of 95% of everybody else). Now this may sound like work, but it is not a lot of work, especially not when compared to doing surveys.

As far as small income streams are concerned I would like to recommend to your readers online teaching as a possibility. I do a class and it pays about $1300 for a 5 weeks. They pay you for 8 hours of work per week so that comes out to be 32.5 per hour.

I have read the 4 hour work week book, and its not really about living as cheap as you can so you only have to work 4 hours a week. Its more about concentrating the hours you do work to only the things that increase your income.

Maybe a post asking for people to put forth their suggestions on work that can be done p/t, yet yield a decent hourly wage (yet not require going to med school or something)? Would be fun to see what everyone comes up with; you can then compile the suggestions into another post perhaps?

Far too many people spend far too much time in front of the TV and then pay some one else to do their work for them. Simple things, like grooming your dog, changing your own oil, or fixing a faucet leak can save a ton of money.

@Greenie I taught self defense classes after I took courses for my own interest and protection. Made $200 for each 2 hour workshop. 10 students at $20 each.

Also helps us women who are biking, walking, adventuring more stay safe. ?
