Timothy Ferriss argues that the standard trade of forty years of labour for a distant retirement is a poor bargain, and sets out what he did instead.
The book breaks its method into stages: clarifying what is actually worth doing, cutting the tasks that only look productive, handing work to others, and arranging income so it does not require constant attention. Ferriss backs each stage with examples, scripts and experiments drawn from his own attempts and from readers who tried the same.
Why it earns a place on the shelf:
• A staged method rather than a single piece of advice
• Attention given to delegation and to automating routine income
• Concrete scripts and exercises to test against a real job
• Written for employees, freelancers and small business owners alike
Of interest to professionals rethinking how their hours are spent and to entrepreneurs designing a business around a life rather than the reverse. Stocked at Boipoka.
