Can You Imagine a 4-Hour Workweek?

File this under "books that will change your life." The 4-Hour Workweek asks you to stop envisioning your "dream life" as something you do when you retire. Escape 9-5, live anywhere, and join the "new rich" now. The 4HWW is a playbook for entrepreneurs and dreamers who want to start their own businesses but still have time to see the world, volunteer, learn a foreign language, and spend some time abroad. Author Tim Ferriss has assembled hundreds of great ideas about how to start your own online business, transition your current job to a "remote position," outsource many of your current daily personal and business tasks to India, and and travel the world. The book also discusses the 80/20 principle (80% of tasks are accomplished by 20% of the effort), and offers suggestions to transform your daily efficiency (rule number one: never check your email first thing in the morning). An inspiring read that will definitely make you re-think your life -- it also has a companion website full of ideas (10% of all author royalties are donated to educational non-profits).
