I was quite sceptical when I first heard about Tim Ferriss and his book, The Four Hour Workweek. You only have to take a look at this biography to wonder how such a young person could achieve so much in such a short space of time.
At only 28 years old he speaks six languages, is a national Chinese kickboxing champion, and a guest lecturer at Princeton University. His book is based on this popular lecture series.
Reading this book will encourage you to evaluate choices you make about work and life. It also causes you to readdress the value of money and why we always seem to desire to earn more.
Time management is a recurring theme in the book and it forces you to ask if you are being productive or simply 'busy'. Both practical and motivational, this book will make you take a long, hard look at what you are doing with your life.
The Four Hour Workweek has not been published yet in the UK but it is due out in April 2008. You can, of course, do what I did and order a copy from the US where it has already made it into the New York Times Bestseller list.
