Forget the old deferred life plan that has you working hard through the best of years of your life only to retire at the end. There is no need to wait, and every reason not to.

Whether your dream is 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 book is the blueprint.

In this step-by-step guide to luxury lifestyle design, Tim Ferris explains how he went from working eighty hours per week for $40,000 per year to earning $40,000 per month in just four hours per week, allowing him to travel the world and fulfill his dreams??and how you can, too. With more than one hundred pages of new, cutting-edge content, this expanded edition offers new tools and tricks for living like a millionaire vagabond, even in unpredictable economic times.

Added features include templates for eliminating email and negotiating with bosses and clients, plus real case studies from readers who have doubled their income and reinvented themselves by following Tim's revolutionary paradigm.… (plus d'informations)

The “4HWW” is a mixed bag. Its biggest issue is that it goes in so many directions. It’s at the same time about productivity, setting up your own business, expat guide, managing a small business, self development, psychology. Overall it is coming from a good place: helping people escape the 9-5 and devote time to worthy pursuits. The style has its charm but will not be everyone’s cup of tea (it’s really very American, in a good and bad way), but the biggest drawback is that it really is a product of its time and geography. A lot of what is actionable fits the early Internet days whereby people would create a website and start selling t-shirts over the internet. It may still be an option today and in the future, but the way to succeed in this has drastically changed due to the evolution of commerce, society and the web. It also mainly addresses the American market because in many places in the world it simply is not realistic to outsource so much of our life to people in third world countries (this assumes you are living in a country where the standard of living makes such move acceptable financially), or that you may not leave a fixed position so easily because you will never know if you could get one back. However with a bit of effort a lot of it can be recycled or generalized. ( )

Si on fait abstraction de son éthique plus que discutable ( faire travailler les autres au maximum et pratiquer l'outsourcing pour optimiser / automatiser son entreprise ), on peut retirer plein de bonnes choses de ce livre : par exemple de judicieux conseils sur les méthodes pour lutter contre la procrastination cachée dans une fausse activité ; différents moyens pour trouver et développer sa "muse", son produit miracle producteur d'importants revenus financier avec un minimum de temps de travail ; plein d'astuces pour voyager et vivre à l'étranger à bas prix.

Le livre est truffé de références concrètes aidant à appliquer ses conseils : sociétés à contacter, sites web à visiter, exemples réels de réussites ; il arrive assez bien à convaincre que le but affiché est atteignable.
En cela, c'est une lecture qui indéniablement donne envie d'entreprendre et qui pousse à jeter un regard critique sur la façon dont on mène sa vie. ( )

Forget “follow your dreams.” Ferriss recommends creating intellectual property by searching Writer’s Market for obscure magazines with 15,000-plus circulations whose readers spend money in the same consumer patterns as, say, bass fishermen, then asking the magazines’ advertising directors to e-mail you rate cards while you search back issues for repeat advertisers who sell directly to consumers via 1-800 numbers and Web sites. I’m not kidding. That’s Step 1.
 
The book's essential premise is that what Ferriss calls the "deferred-life plan" -- the path of working for 40 years to fund a 20-year retirement -- is both escapable and worth escaping.

For my parents, Donald and Frances Ferriss, who taught a little hellion that marching to a different drummer was a good thing. I love you both and owe you everything.

Is lifestyle design for you?

Just because you are embarrassed to admit that you're still living the consequences of bad decisions made 5, 10, or 20 years ago shouldn't stop you from making good decisions now. If you let pride stop you, you will hate life 5, 10, or 20 years from now for the same reasons. I hate to be wrong and sat in a dead-end trajectory with my own company until I was forced to change directions or face total breakdown -- I know how hard it is.

Now that we're on a level playing field: Pride is stupid.
