Four Hour Work Week - Buy it, trust me

Its not very often that I read a book and it inspires me to take action immediately.  For the last couple weeks, I’ve been working my way through The Four Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss.  I probably spent more time telling others about it than the time it actually took to read, it was that good.

I mentioned in-passing to the CTO of my company that I was reading it and his first response was “Has it changed your life yet?”.  That sort of endorsement is powerful.

The way I interpreted The Four Hour Work Week is that its a book about control, its about taking control of your destiny.  Its easy to be a critic and see opportunities that others are missing out on, but its much harder to look at yourself and recognize your potential.

The Four Hour Work Week is, in short, about kicking ass and taking names.  Simply your life, take the bull by the horns, free your time, its your most valuable asset.  Figure out how much your time is worth (or how much you’re getting paid if you’re working for someone else) and analyze your critical tasks at work.  Cut out those that don’t matter.  Outsource or delegate those tasks that aren’t worth your time.  Spend your precious time building value.  Value for your company or, more importantly, value for yourself.

I love the book.  I’m not going to ramble on about it.  Buy it.  Its less than $11 at Amazon and it’ll be on your doorstep in a few days.  Seriously, it may be a catalyst to change your life.
