I just finished one of the best books of the year. The 4-Hour work Week is written by Timothy Ferriss and is an entertaining and educational look at how a person can live their dreams and make a ton of dough in the process.
Timothy goes through a four step process of liberation and automation that is designed to make your life effective and not just efficient. Explaining how technology that is supposed to make your life easier really can without the hassle. There were many parts of the book that I took to heart like the chapter on elimination (Step 2) that goes over the numerous tasks most people do on a daily basis that need to be 
removed. I never would have thought that checking email on a regular basis was a bad thing but understanding the enormous amount of time taken by responding to every message as it comes in instead of focusing on the most important tasks made a whole lot of sense.
If you are an employee or an employer and you have not taken the time to pick up this book and read the first chapter, you are doing yourself a major disservice. The 4-Hour work Week is a book anyone looking to add value to their lives should read.
I agree. I think this book affected the way I work more than any other business or motivational book I’ve ever read. Tim is a genius. A must read for anyone who wants to work less and live more.
