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.

Our society is not prepared for this!

I've been teaching my students for years and years about the issues that Mr. Ferris explained in his book and I'm glad that I wasn't alone! The entire system of education in America (and in most countries for that matter), which is known as Prussian System, implies that the only option we have is to slave full time for somebody else for forty years and quietly die after that in poverty! That's how we are supposed to spend our lives! That it's perfectly normal to identify ourselves with how we make a living. It's unquestionable that it has to be a full time job to make money to survive in this world. It's normal to answer the question "What do you do?" with the explanation about where you spend most of your life trying to make money to survive. Isn't it humiliating! Is that what God planned for us? We stopped questioning it long time ago. Generations wasted their lives working. Just working! Do we even realize how huge it is? When a person can actually enjoy life, spend time helping others, learning something new, spending time with the family, actually doing what he or she enjoys, we somehow settled for forty years of hard work not even in order to achieve something in life, but just to survive, just not to starve to death! We can't even afford to stop working for a couple of month, because we are going to run out of money and become as poor as we are planning on being when we are retired.
The same thing with delegation. We don't know how to do it. We must make sure that we are busy 100% of the time and we can not delegate anything to anybody! If we get some free time it only means that we are lazy and we need to cure the situation by filling free time with more work!
The most ridiculous case of inability to delegate is our national crazy idea (I'm from Russia) that if you grow potatoes yourself - it's free! I still remember how pretty much everybody goes to plant potatoes in the spring. No matter how well off you are, you must do it yourself, because if you do it yourself - it's free! Can you believe it!
Anyway, this book is going to be called at least "controversial" or most likely will get one of those slap-on "get rich quick" or "it will never work" labels.
Our society is not ready for this.
But for a small business owner today it's one of the most comprehensive guides on today's business and a must-have.

Great and useful book!

Great book! Many very practical advises on how to improve your performance and improve your life. I can recomend it to all office employees and entrapreneurs who want to improve their lives.

SO EPIC. THIS BOOK IS CHANGING MY LIFE.

I LOVE YOU TIM FERRIS. Thank you for being so ON HIT! You can have a date with me any time...

Who ever thought a book on organizing your lifestyle could be so damn sexy?

Hilarious, inspirational, easy to read, non-stop revelations and hard-core usable data and resources. This is the ultimate entrepreneurial textbook.

Great Book, Well Worth Reading

I enjoyed this book very much. The first portion of the book has many helpful hints regarding managing one's life and work. Tim Ferris has a unique outlook on how one should arrange their life and, I suspect, that most of us can benefit, in some way, from his example.

The last portion of this book will be of particular interest to those who wish to make their money from selling a great product online. If your personal "get rich quick" plan focuses on real estate, stocks, or "brick and mortar" businesses, then this portion of his book may be of little use to you.

Overall, this book is a great buy and well worth your time!
