Forget the old concepts of retirement and a deferred life plan. There is no need to wait and every reason not to, especially in unpredictable economic times. For living more and working less, this book is the blueprint.

This expanded edition includes dozens of practical tips and case studies from people who have doubled their income, overcome common sticking points, and reinvented themselves using the original book. Also included are templates for eliminating email and negotiating with bosses and clients, how to apply lifestyle principles in unpredictable economic times, and the latest tools, tricks, and shortcuts for living like a diplomat or millionaire without being either.

Life Changing.

If you only read one book this year make it this one. Only if you're ready to get serious with your life.

Finished my 8th listen.

Now that I've heard this book 8 times in 2 years I'm finally done with excuses. although many details in this book are out of date the principles still apply. this book has been my guiding light. I'm almost at my goal of quitting my day job and traveling the world for as long as I'd like. never going back to "regular life"!

outsourcing and automation. these change lives.

also listen to his podcast. the amount of free perspective altering knowledge is alarming.

This lifestyle is not for me, at least not now.

There is good staff in this book especially if you have the goal to leave your work, build your own business and manage it remotely. I don't have this goal yet so it was not as useful for me.
Liked : a lot of staff on how to improve your efficiency.
Not liked : Dozens of websites read in full like http://www.ireadalltheslashes.com/pages/better/donotreadthis/ and so on.
I would rate this book as good but not as one that changed my life.

Highly recommended. Best performance yet!

I listen to a lot of audio books as I have a super long commute. Ray Porter is the best reader I have listened to yet! Pauses are just at the right places and last just the right amount of time. He injects the right tones at the right places. I will look for more of his readings!

As for the book itself, I bought a paperback for my son after listening to this, He offers concrete ways to get out of the rat race, not just grand ideas like so many other similar books.

WOW! 😮

This book gave me a glimpse of a very different, very appealing perspective. It is practicle, filled with endearing sarcasm, and has so much information I took notes regularly. Thank you Timothy Ferriss! I will be re-reading it a few times. ❤
