The 4 Hour Workweek
“The 4-Hour Workweek” by Timothy Ferriss is a how-to guide for living life large and doing away with the commonly accepted deferred-life plan in which people work from 9 to 5, take one vacation a year, and save money to relax after retirement. The alternative? Creating a luxury lifestyle in the present using the currency of the “New Rich”: time and mobility.

Who it is for
Best suited for people who have had it enough with the 9-to-5 grind and want to start living a more relaxed and fulfilled life tomorrow – and not after retirement.
