Review excerpt:

The Four Hour Workweek challenges our assumptions about money and employment. Most of us grow up, go to college, spend the best years of our lives working, and hope that when we retire that we will have enough money to survive until we die. Ferriss asserts that this is unnecessary. His model is to live life as a series of distributed “mini-retirements,” enjoying life while we still have our health and energy. He advocates what he calls “lifestyle design,” determining what we really want out of life, and finding creative ways to make it happen.
