Ep 39: The 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss: Lessons + Takeaways


Listen Later

A few weeks ago, I was feeling really lost with my blog. Again. Even though I'd only recently revamped the way that I was producing content, I still felt something was off. I was putting a heaps time into my blog and yet it was stagnating. I knew it was time to reexamine the way I was doing things and when I saw The 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss in the book store, I knew it would be the perfect book to help.

I originally read The 4-Hour Work Week a few years ago, as an audiobook, and learned A LOT from it. But because I didn't do the journaling exercises, those lessons were quickly forgotten and my life stayed about the same. This time around, I went to this book with highlighters and tabs in hand, and it's completely transformed the way I approach my business and my personal life. And I'm going to be sharing those lessons with you!

The 4-Hour Work Week is a book with a gimmicky title - but please don't let that put you off. It's really just a book about how to be effective and actually enjoy your life, rather than working for work's sake and accumulating stuff. And if you're anything like me, you have a lot to learn!

If you're interested in reading the book (which I 100% recommend), I advise getting yourself a physical copy so you can really digest all the wisdom in this book and do the journaling exercise - the magic in this book is in the application!
