What it is: The 4 Hour Workweek is a book about designing your lifestyle to inform your job as opposed to your job informing your lifestyle. It outlines strategies for delegating, streamling and outsourcing tasks (yes to India or China) to free up time and stress so that you can do the things you really want to do. Central to the premise of this book is that free time to do what you want (be it to start a nonprofit, or learn to dance the Tango) should be the goal, not accumulation of material wealth.

What it is: Another post from the personal development guru, Steve Pavlina. This article puts your “life rating” in context. Would you look at your life and rate it a 7?

Steve Pavlina, personal growth master and Guru of Good Intentions, shares the secret of being massively successful: get up early. And he’s right. Remember the last time you got up early? That was a pretty good day, right? So, just get up early and be successful.

WRONG!

Steve points out, with much sound and fury, that getting up early is not the way to get up early! No no no, that would be completely self-defeating and mundane, something hipsters and 80’s retro clubs would endorse. The trick is to go to bed when you’re tired… and THEN get up early. How could we have been so foolish?
