Eyeopening

simple ideas but many counterintuitive thinking. will definitely adopt some practices. Some ideas to get out of the office felt like manipulation.

Inappropriate content read out

Any additional comments?

The 4 hours work week audio book has inappropriate content in chapter 26, the first couple of minutes,the audio sounds like been edited. And I dunno if it's actually in the book but i highly doubt it. The offensive words include: snorting drugs, parents body parts, cut genital with sharp object, etc, I am deeply offended by it.

Would recommend the hard copy!

I found this book incredibly informative and inspiring! I'm usually a big audiobook fan over the hard copy but Ferriss lists many MANY websites, spelling them out - making some chapters painful to listen too. Wonderful book though, would highly recommend:)

A really great motivator to be a modern entrepreneur

The 4 hour work week is a very well thought out book by Tim Ferris. I love that he takes concepts by other people and adds his own twist that make them easily understandable and adoptable. The book remarks on ideas of how to manage people in and out of your life depending on if they help you advance or if they are there to steal your personal energy and time. It remarks on a clever business idea that anyone could do and also talks about the idea of getting out of the office so you can really live life. The great escape from the 9-5. It is also narrated in a great way with great audio quality and was highly enjoyable. The lessons are great and the anecdotes that go along are entertaining and though provoking. I would recommend this book to anyone

good book, though rambles a bit

zoned out a bit when the narrator is plugging the websites. I may have been looking for more of an informative book, rather than "this is what I can do now that I work less and have more money"
