Book Review - Four Hour Work Week (Timothy Ferriss)

Four Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss is the book for you if you hate your job now or you are tired of the rat race and want to find the solution to get out of it.

In the book, there is a step-by-step guide to get yourself to work from home, assuming that you can do that without violating any company's policy. Once you are able to work from home, you can start to work on the plans that are stipulated inside the book.

Part of the plans is to start a program and then turn it into autopilot so that it can generates passive income for you. What struck me to buy the book is because of its title. Yes, everyone is looking forward to working only 4 hours a week. What if I tell you, this 4 hours work is the maximum you would need when the business goes to autopilot. Would that not be more attractive to you? Inside, Timothy Ferris also shares more insights into his life as to how to save more money while travelling, only possible given the lifestyle he has worked hard to get.

When reading this book, I am amazed at the solutions he used to get himself out, how he test out various aspect of his business such as marketing, customer service to improve his returns and all these test are carried out at the lowest costs.

This is definitely a must-have for those who really want out of the rat race or am tired of being at the mercy of a greedy people's mistakes.

I give it 4 out of 5 stars for the implementable solutions that is presented. Hurry get the book, read it and most importantly take actions. The consequences is much higher if you do not!
