Books - The 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss

Anyone else read this book?
I can genuinely say it's the most interesting read I've had in ages.

More to the point, unlike the majority of so called 'Time Management' books, this one is almost the reverse of all of them while being everything combined and more.

I put the book down after about 80 pages or so, having already learned to read faster, and felt an instant change in my state of mind.
Since then I've made huge productivity increases and an on my way to hopefully achieving 'NR' status according to the terminology in the book.

I also ended up downloading the eBook and audio version so I can really drum this in to my head. I have a plan, one that was already there but is now hugely more focussed and effective within a matter of days.

I'd not have stumbled accross the book has I not picked up WIRED magazine at MCO, by the time I'd read the article and the rest of the magazine when I got to PHL I was still thinking about this book, a quick stop at one of the stores while waiting for the connection back to LGW and I had a copy, I spent a good proportion of the 7 hour flight reading in to it and then delving inside my thoughts, analysing what was in front of me, what I was being told, what was so obvious but what I'd never considered.

If you haven't read it I highly recommend it, if you have, did you change anything? Did you implement any of the techniques? Have you seen lasting benefit?

I identify with Tim Ferriss's story quite a lot, the proplem with authority, the finding things impossible to do or enjoy without understanding why, especially if there is a seemingly more logical way to do things.

My brain doesn't seem to be wired like much of the rest of the world. This book proved I'm not alone and more importantly how to exploit it.

Highly recommended!
