The 4-Hour Work Week: Escape the 9-5, Live Anywhere and Join the New Rich by Timothy FerrissMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is as amazing as people have been telling me. It has been on my to-read list for over a decade; better late than never.
It breaks down into four sections: definition, elimination, automation and liberation. You won't want to skip any of it. Although some will sound dated as the book was published over 13 years ago - it's still valuable because people don't change and business and industry, while increasingly online, still manage to rule our lives and make us unhappy.
I read lots of books about habits, efficiency, goal-setting and personal improvement. This book stands out for its focus on the principles of stoicism.
My favorite quote: What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.
Every page is packed with wisdom and the paradoxical nature of his observations really do make you stop, think and see this thing - this problem of time and ambition and living life - in a fresh, new way.
It's one of those book you need to own so you can go back to your favorite parts - the parts you swore were written just for you - and take in the energy of his words.
A truly great book!
