The 4-Hour Work Week
If you have ever even threatened to put off enjoying life until after retirement you need to read this book. Tim Ferriss has put together a great resource to get people out from behind their excuses (and their desks) and get them living, loving, and learning instead of loathing their job.
Of course, the most wonderful plan in the world is useless if it hasn’t been tested and refined. Tim is a living testament to the power of his words and has stories from other “New Rich” who have started taking mini-retirements now while they are young enough to enjoy doing the things they enjoy!
Even if you are not as gung-ho about cutting the ties between dollars and hours as Tim (and I!) you can still gain enormous freedom at work by honestly applying the 80/20 rule and believing you can batch process 99%+ of the communications you receive.
What beliefs are holding you back from truly living?
