Well, I too finished this book and found it inspiring enough to want to change my life to manage my time better and become a PARALLEL entrepreneur (who needs Serial?). As such, I’m documenting and journaling my journey from 40 hour a weeker to 4 hour a weeker on my blog at http://www.fourhourworkweekdiary.com. I’d love to get your feedback, encouragement, or discouragement as I attempt to radically change the way I spend my time.<ul></ul> Interesting review!

I think Timothy's assertion was that you should generate your own business, producing a product (ideally of value to other human beings, like his vitamin supplements or t-shirts or whatever) and then figure a way to put them on autopilot.

I've been living that life and thought it was mostly well articulated. But, the problem is much of the book is filled with get rich schemes that are really just soul-less schemes - like trying to invent a mindless widget to sell. Still, skip that chapter and shake up your perspective - free yourself from the 9-5. In general, this stuff seems obvious to me, but if you've been an employee most of your career, you probably need a new perspective...<ul></ul> The book’s first chapter has an inspiring tone and a perspective on work and freedom from work that’s refreshing for most.

I got the audio and it's very practical information, down to the web addresses of places to outsource or hire assistants, and what kind of tasks make sense. Granted, I probably won't have my VA (Virtual Assistant) be writing apology emails to my girlfriend, but his point is made.<ul></ul> I’m totally hooked now too.
