Book Sharing 1.2 The 4-Hour Work Week

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

The 4-Hour Work Week:

Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich. Timothy Ferriss

 

What comes to your mind when you hear the saying “Carpe diem”?

Seize the day… Why don’t you just do it? Maybe it’s because there is not much time left nowadays…

Do you think that’s right?

Well, we would like to make the following proposal: Just read the book The 4-Hour Work Week: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich and then tell us again what comes to your mind at the thought of “Carpe diem”. Maybe your view and ideas have changed.

The 4-Hour Workweek

The American author of The 4-Hour Work Week Timothy Ferriss explains how you cut a D E A L with yourself to gain more time – including spare time – and how to use it more efficiently, according to the author’s theory, with just a few steps:

Try to find things or activities that are unnecessarily causing a loss of your (spare) time and leave them behind, Step 2 – we think you better read the book yourself, because it’s not our intention to tell you too much.

We assume that you find a straight tip and approaches, too. By the way: Timothy Ferriss gives also advice regarding common mistakes of the “New Rich”.

Speicher 210 says: Seize the day!
