THE 4-HOUR WORKWEEK; customer service, organizational behavior, motivational.

Can you believe that the author, Timothy Ferriss, would title his book The 4-Hour Workweek? (published in 2007). Afterall, I learned in my JOURNALISM 200 class freshman year at San Francisco State University that it was grammatically inncorrect to print digits 0-9 in its numbered form on paper; but rather you are supposed to spell-out digits 0-9. So, technically, the book should be titled "The Four-Hour Workweek," if it were to be grammatically correct. Fortunately, I don't personally care about 'correctness' and niethier does the author.
Ferriss does the opposite in his book. He doesn't just write differently, he explains in his book how to make money and manage your lifesyle differently, both financially and personally, in a way that corrects exisiting conventions on how to do so. Ferriss is about efficiency, but stresses the importance of being effective with what you WANT to do. He makes money and lives his life the OPPOSITE way, and encourages and explains to his readers the possibility of doing so immediately. Not tomorrow, not next week, but Now! Ferriss organizes his his book into 4 (OOPS! I meant four, see...) sections, which explain in clear detail how to live your life as THE NEW RICH (NR). The NR abandon the deferred-life plan of working the arbitray " 9 to 5, " which produces less rather than more ambiguous results, and then retiring when you're exhausted and old, only to vacation at some second-rate resort still drowing in debt and cheap scotch. Many people fear living this unfullfilling and boring reality of 'work for work,' but Ferriss and the NR create luxury lifestyles in the present using the currency of TIME and MOBILITY to get what you want, where you want, when you want. Sounds like a dream? That's the point.

Doing what you want, where you want, and how you want is a possibilty that Ferriss makes clear and POSSIBLE, and Ferriss demonstrates that if he could become a serial entrepreneur and ultravagabond, speak six languages, run a multinational firm from wireless locations worldwide, become a national champion in Chinese kickboxing, and an actor on a hot television series in Hong Kong, all at the age of thirty years old--THEN YOU CAN TOO. And, Ferriss does show the reader how to 'accomplish it all' doing anything, just like he did, by providing resources and activities to perform and practice both in the book and on the Web. If you buy the book, Ferriss gives the reader access to his online website, http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/, which has additional activities, resources, an extensive glossary, and BONUS CHAPTERS that can be used to reference as you become NR.

Life doesn't have to be so damn difficult! I recommend this book to anyone. It's a quick read (about 300 pages), packed with a lifetime of useful information and resources. Pick up Ferriss's book, and start finding out for yourself--What work and life management means and is supposed to be!
