Do you dream of escaping the rat race, experiencing high-end world travel, earning a monthly five-figure income with zero management, or just living more and working less?

This audiobook is the blueprint to make that possible.

In this fascinating audiobook, read by Ray Porter, Timothy Ferriss details his road to financial success and the steps he took along the way. His plan is simple to follow, easy to apply and relevant for anyone looking to make a change.

This step-by step guide to luxury lifestyle design teaches:

* How to outsource your life and do whatever you want
* How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours
* How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and frequent 'mini-retirements'

* More than 50 practical tips and case studies from readers who have doubled their income, overcome common sticking points and reinvented themselves using the original book as a starting point
* Real-world templates for eliminating email and negotiating with bosses and clients
* How to use lifestyle design principles to live ambitiously in unpredictable economic times

I like audiobooks that are narrated by the author. They are read in the same energy as how they were wrote; you begin to understand and keep track of the text when you feel someone is genuine about reading it to you. I'll still listen to it but I feel it'd have been more engaging if it was read by the source. But I guess that's what the 4 hour work week is all about :)

Good book but I wish Tim Ferriss was reading it

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

A lot of links to website that are not up to date today, pretty much time consuming and worthless. A few interesting concepts but not as helpful as the author pretends them to be. Instead of useful advices (there are a few but this is it) the author speaks on how good he is, does not really help on how to be more productive.

Basic concepts of time management and how to delegate

Wish I had read this book much sooner than I did, a real game changer.

Life Changing talk right there. Buying the physical book this month too as there are very useful bits of info in here. Definitely recommend to those feeling ready to take time & money into their own hands.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Given my profession, the whole lifestyle is not something which would be possible for me to implement. Many of the smaller lessons I will try to incorporate into my life and live by.

The narrator has a great style and tone which is relaxing but not boring, and reads clearly. This allowed me to focus on the meaning behind the words rather than deciphering what they were trying to say.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is of an entrepreneurial mind or is looking to make big changes in their life.
