The 4-Hour Workweek. Escape 9-5,live anywhere, and join the new rich. Timothy Ferris

The 4-Hour Workweek. Escape 9-5, live anywhere, and join the new rich. Timothy Ferris. 2007. ISBN9780307353139. Comes with warning, Do not read this book unless you want to quit your job! On first reading this book , I realized that this 29 yr old had written up all my secrets and more! But it took me 40 yrs of working to find it out! Very enjoyable book and I recommend it to young and old, unless you are one of those bosses that expect employees to tattoo the Co. logo on their butt. (Those type of bosses breathe life into the ideas of Karl Marx!) Of course this book is another part of the author’s building up of a “non-working” lifestyle, but hey it is good and well researched advice. Of course very very few will take him up on it. I will say that having had to figure out much of this on my own (being quite a “bad” employee in my time) his models and methods do work and are quite risk free. My lesson learned was to get that unlocked quad band GSM phone from a US provider with no roaming fees. It really does free you up along with the Vonage VOIP adapter which takes your office no. free anywhere in the world.http://www.4hourworkweek.com/index.htm   has lots of resources.
