The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferris - Review

By Matt Frieling

The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferris is an incredible look at the ever-changing world of Entrepreneurship. It is the new wave of Entrepreneurs that are harnessing technology to reach a Global Market, while outsourcing all of the "Dirty Work." The concept of the book is to maximize your potential in life and actually "Live the Dream," instead of "Work so hard for the dream that you missed out." Timothy Ferris gives a perspective on how we should be living our lives, not work them away. He describes this new wave of Entrepreneurship as the "New Rich"...a term that will be likely overused for generations to come.

Timothy Ferris, the author of the bestselling book, describes that the agenda for success in society today has been redefined by work yourself to death. We are consistently bombarded with information, because we live in an age of information. He challenges the conventional ways of success and redefines the importance of living a life that is enjoyable. Isn't that what we all really want. To live a life that we are happy living. Instead of doing "Work for works sake" as he describes it, we need to cut the fat out of our 8 - 12 hour work days and focus on productivity.

I for one, loved this book. As a former Corporate Financial Sales Representative, I related to this book immediately. It even made me search for new ways to generate income for myself, which led me to discover a system called the Reverse Funnel System...a system that I believe was inspired by the book "The 4 Hour Work Week".

For those of you who have not yet read the book and you are a true entrepreneur, I would suggest picking it up. It is quite the delight of a read and it gives a fresh perspective for the ever changing world of business.
