 Yes, it is a book of two halves but... October 17, 2008
The first half of this book is so good at telling you how to save time that if you take it in properly you don't read the second half, you absorb it.
Totally freeing, funny and fantastic.
Sack your boss.
Put it in your basket! October 13, 2008
This book has added hours to my week!
I didn't find all the ideas useful, and yes the book is padded out with the authors ideas of how to fill your newly found time (non of which interested me) but its well worth having in your collection.
Some of the ideas are so simple that I kicked myself; I have since spoken to many very successful people and found non that have used them but all thought they were great!
Even if this book only gives you back an hour of two a week, It will be well worth the cover price!
One of the best books I have read October 4, 2008

This is one of the best books I have read, it makes you re-evaluate your life and see that it is for now - not later as later may never come. He does go a bit too much ionto what he thinks you should do with your free time but overall loads to gain from this this book. It is especially suited to those who have an online business like he does and most of the reference companies are American so that foe me was a downside as if there were UK reference companies for outside fullfillment etc that would make it more worthwhile however worth buying and defo gives a different perspective to life and what it can be.
There is one poem in there towards the end that I thought was so powerfull, I have typed up and put on me fridge !!

After reading the reviews and skimming the book in a local bookstore I bought this book.
To be honest it isn't a bad read and some tips (like leaving a message on your email, focusing on outcomes before you have a meeting and outsourcing where possible) were quite interesting but the main drawback seemed to me that it was really just a book for management and sale people not real producers and "wealth creators"
If you are a factory worker making cars, computers widgets etc you have to be there full time you can't outsource that work.
If you are a doctor you need to be there more than 4 hours a week
A teacher, nurse, shop worker, bus driver, airline pilot (the list goes on and on) can't expect to be paid a full salary for a 10% workload.
It just reinforces my prejudices that we really don't need managers at all!!
Remember the space ship in hitch hikers guide that was full of management gurus and telephone sanitizers-- Now they could do a 4 hour week!!
The Wealth Coach Loved The 4-Hour Work Week September 2, 2008

I really liked several things about this book, not least that Tim Ferris didn't make it all sound easy, but rather, showed us why it is important to find a way to be financially free. Driven, successful people often find it hard to just lie on a beach, and how would you just take off on your own if you have always had people around you.....it sort of put me off a bit - which could have been sabotaging my long term success! I've always struggled with the idea of what to do when I no longer have to stay in the UK, when the kids are grown up, but can travel the world drawing a passive income from my business.....well, thanks to Tim, now I know what I'm going to do, I'm going to have "purposeful holidays". I'm going to go and live for 3-6 months at a time in an area I've always liked the sound of, rent apartements rather than live in hotels, and learn how to do things, speak languages, help people. How cool is that thought? I highly recommend this book which complements the other wealth creation biggies like "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and "Think & Grow Rich", "One Minute Millionaire" etc. My only tiny niggle with the book was that Tim didn't go into too much detail about his path and challenges creating his own internet business and passive income, that would have been really interesting, but could form the basis for his next book perhaps?
