Our Review
Love it or hate it, The 4-Hour Workweek changed how an entire generation thinks about work. Tim Ferriss doesn't just tell you to work harder — he tells you to question why you're working at all. The book is structured around DEAL: Definition (what do you actually want?), Elimination (remove the unnecessary), Automation (systems that run without you), and Liberation (freedom from location). While some tactics feel dated, the core philosophy of designing your life around freedom rather than income is more relevant than ever. The chapters on outsourcing, batching tasks, and creating "muse" businesses remain gold.
