Product Description
What do you do? Tim Ferriss has trouble answering the question. Depending on when you ask this
controversial Princeton University guest lecturer, he might answer:
“I race motorcycles in Europe.”
“I ski in the Andes.”
“I scuba dive in Panama.”
“I dance tango in Buenos Aires.”
He has spent more than five years learning the secrets of the New Rich, a fast-growing subculture who has abandoned the “deferred-life plan” and instead mastered the new currencies—time and mobility—to create luxury lifestyles in the here and now.
Whether you are an overworked employee or an entrepreneur trapped in your own business, this book is the compass for a new and revolutionary world. Join Tim Ferriss as he teaches you:
• How to outsource your life to overseas virtual assistants for $5 per hour and do whatever you want
• How blue-chip escape artists travel the world without quitting their jobs
• How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using the principles of a forgotten Italian economist
• How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and freuent "mini-retirements"
• What the crucial difference is between absolute and relative income
• How to train your boss to value performance over presence, or kill your job (or company) if it’s beyond repair
• What automated cash-flow “muses” are and how to create one in 2 to 4 weeks
• How to cultivate selective ignorance—and create time—with a low-information diet
• What the management secrets of Remote Control CEOs are
• How to get free housing worldwide and airfare at 50–80% off
• How to fill the void and create a meaningful life after removing work and the office
You can have it all—really.

 More morons I know recommend this book. August 7, 2008

More poor morons I know recommend this book. It can't be any good if it inspires the mediocre to dream of living rich without working. Low rent people unit.
It speaks of networking...it should be titled "networking for nitwits."
 A game changer for certain people August 7, 2008
Ben Perry (Boston, MA)
I LOVED this book and I can't stop talking about it. It's a fantastic guide for breaking free of the corporate treadmill and making better use of your life. This book is my new bible.
That said, I realize that I am squarely in the target demographic for the message of this book. Many of the principles in the book would be nearly impossible to implement if you're a blue collar worker. This is a game changer for white collar, internet-savvy folks but will fall somewhere between mildly interesting and totally useless to people outside that demo.
 Started off good... August 6, 2008
Moondog (Hell, MI)
It started off good but it seems that he "outsourced" his own book about halfway through. What I really want to know is how did he get so rich selling brain "vitamins?"
 ESCAPE, NOW August 4, 2008
Jeremy Butller (MI US)
I found myself not being able to put it down....I enjoyed the anecdotes and style of Tim's writing as well as some of his easy-to-digest lessons and principles by which to live. This book is totally worth the investment and time to check it out.
