  • This is thinking outside the box, and can help you to get out of the box.

    It's a quick easy to read and understand book, on how to retire early than most people think it is possible, of course I am the exception to the rule of retire at 65, I retired at 38 some six years ago. You see colleges today want you to be a slave for your entire life so they don't teach retirement as a course. But with some creative thinking it is possible to duplicate my own life, and if you read good books like this one it will open up your closed mind to new possibilities. I recommend this book to anyone who would like to start thinking out side the box, a few people who gave it a bad ratting are probably working 9-5 in a dead end job at the age of 68 so you need to consider the source. Me, I live on my 35' old wood sailboat you can see her just google "Turandot Yawl" click on the ...

  • Tim Ferriss is the next Anthony Robbins

    “The 4-Hour Workweek” is a vastly entertaining book. Ferriss believes that any kind of work, career or enterprise is best thought of as an enabling technology to make just enough money to pursue your passions, from kickboxing to tango, and that more work (and, presumably, more networking) is a waste. In stark contrast to much current wisdom around time management, he advises readers to go on a low-information diet, cultivate selective ignorance, reply to email as little as possible (start establishing a twice-a-day routine, then build up to once a week or once a month), refuse to be interrupted for chitchat or spend time at the water cooler, and master the art of disappearing from the office (the hero of one hilarious chapter is an HP tech support employee based in Palo Alto who was ...

  • Tim is the chef for the recipe of the American Dream

    This is not a book on how to be Tim Ferriss. Rather, it is a book on how to increase your available time, income and mobility (oddly enough, T-I-M) to do the things you want to do. Tim shows you how to beat the traditional system of slave, save and retire by applying some commonsense but not common knowledge principles, such as: 20% of your efforts gives you 80% of the results, therefore eliminate the other 80% of your efforts (or customers). 24% of most office-workers' time is spent task-switching. Therefore, minimize the switching. 40% of those who switch never go back to their original task. Even more reason to minimize switching. Tim uses the experiences of his short yet meteoric life (he wrote the book when he was 29) to illustrate his principles. His accomplishments as a mixed ...

  • A book WORTH reading.

    If you'd like a different perspective on living your life...here's a great chance to explore new options. This book is all about perspective. Do you wanna work like a slave for the next 30 years and hope to enjoy the little time you have left when you're "done"....or live NOW, as you go! I think the author did a great job creating an easy read packed with great info. I might buy a few more and give them as gifts this year.
