5 out of 5 stars It changed my life! You have to   October 28, 2008
 0 out of 6 found this review helpful

I love love this book and it has changed my life. If you love this book and this review is helpful, click yes so we can get a good review on the 1st page.

Sounds to me like some reviewers expect too much out of the book. It's not magic. Tim shows how he works a 4 hour work week and the steps that you can take to follow his lead and do the same thing. He also references all the books that led him to where he is so that you can read them also and get a better understanding of the concepts. He puts the whole process together and shows us how he did it. He tells you the whole process of actually how to do it. There are plenty of websites out there created by readers of this book whose lives have been changed just by reading this book. It really gets you thinking. If you are not an entrepreneur then ya it's not a good book for you because you do need to have your own ideas. It's very inspirational.

The people that are giving the book bad reviews are just not the entrepreneur type and thats OK. You can tell because of their comments like "it's not realistic". It's very realistic and there are plenty of websites and blogs full of people, right now, making it happen in their life right now and talking freely about it.

Don't buy this book if you don't want to take the time to come up with some of your own ideas about the type of business you would have.
Don't buy the book if you don't believe that is is possible to make more money and work less hours.


This book was the spark I needed to get the flame going!

Well written book. The information is presented in an easy to follow format with tangible examples. A must read for those in, or falling into, the 45,50,60 hour work week.


4 out of 5 stars I Now Have Two Copies   November 2, 2008
 0 out of 4 found this review helpful

A good friend of mine bought this book for me as a gift. I read it from cover to cover. While on assignment, I remembered a section of the book that I wanted to reference so I bought another. I wasn't looking to work 4 hours a day or live anywhere but as I read the book I realized in-spite of the title, it was very helpful. As an inventor and entrepreneur, I know that some of the knowledge in the book would have cost me a fortune if I hired a consultant. I structured my company's infrastructure using the author's advice. So far, I'm pleased with my results. If you're looking to start an internet based business or sell anything via the internet, this book would be a valuable resource if nothing else a very interesting read. -JW


5 out of 5 stars Used it to help teach kids about money...good book   November 7, 2008

A lot of useful information for people looking to escape the old model of making a living. I was able to use of this information in helping myself create a booklet to help parents teach their kids about money How To Raise Kids So They Don't End Up Broke! (Kindle Edition) and it's a great resource for outsourcing your life.


4 out of 5 stars Can we all have it all?   November 11, 2008

Can we all have it all? I just don't know... this guy's story is amazing. The tips are priceless... I don't see my work week trimming down to 4 hours though, any time soon... Still, I loved his humor, his style of writing (which is witty and inspiring), and his lust for living.
