Product Description
What do you do? Tim Ferriss has trouble answering the question. Depending on when you ask this
controversial Princeton University guest lecturer, he might answer:
“I race motorcycles in Europe.”
“I ski in the Andes.”
“I scuba dive in Panama.”
“I dance tango in Buenos Aires.”
He has spent more than five years learning the secrets of the New Rich, a fast-growing subculture who has abandoned the “deferred-life plan” and instead mastered the new currencies—time and mobility—to create luxury lifestyles in the here and now.
Whether you are an overworked employee or an entrepreneur trapped in your own business, this book is the compass for a new and revolutionary world. Join Tim Ferriss as he teaches you:
• How to outsource your life to overseas virtual assistants for $5 per hour and do whatever you want
• How blue-chip escape artists travel the world without quitting their jobs
• How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using the principles of a forgotten Italian economist
• How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and freuent "mini-retirements"
• What the crucial difference is between absolute and relative income
• How to train your boss to value performance over presence, or kill your job (or company) if it’s beyond repair
• What automated cash-flow “muses” are and how to create one in 2 to 4 weeks
• How to cultivate selective ignorance—and create time—with a low-information diet
• What the management secrets of Remote Control CEOs are
• How to get free housing worldwide and airfare at 50–80% off
• How to fill the void and create a meaningful life after removing work and the office
You can have it all—really.

Just finished this book and I think it was excellent. It's written very differently then any other motivational book I've ever read and I highly recommend it. I especially like the chapters about simplifying your work week. I was able to apply his ideas to my own life with great results.

While I respect Tim, I think the idea of subbing work out delves into that whole rant about Gen Y being lazy. I enjoy work and while I like some of his productivity tips, I don't mind putting in a 40-hour week. I still have time to enjoy life--and I LOVE my work so it's not a drag at all.
This is a great book, do not listen those 1 star losers May 4, 2008

Here I am - real reader, and I am not the Tim, as some of 1 star losers would like to tell. Heck, I am more than sure, that most of the guys, who wrote the hate reviews or did not read the book at all or grasped 1 thing they do not like and from this wrote the 1 star review at all.
Now, take your brains in hands, you loser 1 star reviews and think again what about are the book:
- The book is how to be more effective, and how to get more from your life
- The book is how to start live now, and go out of your cubicle
- The book is great inspiration resource, along with Napoleon Hill classical books, Don Kennedy books
- The book is GREAT read, I finished it in one night.
Ok, you may not agree, that all you need is to travel around the jungles in Guam or hiking in Andes, ya ya great. Use the advices to make your cubicle life more effective then.
Just, when you read the 1 star reviewers - think - how comes, that those people so hate the book,and another 400 people loves it? Is this alone not a reason to buy a book and check yourself?
Also, remember, that bright and start personalities always are hated by gray mass, what is here barking on Tim with 1 star reviews - same same people will be barking on Kiyosaki, same people will be barking on Richard Brenson - and trust me - same people are barking on their neighbors new Ferrari (shhhhh, he must be stealing the money, or he is a drug dealer).
Great & inspiring book Tim!
