Focussing much on delegation of work, being productive, cutting out uncessary tasks, income generation that doesn't need your presence, and finding the true meaning of life, what you really want in life.

Tim shared his experiences, but I guess Tim is on the extreme side, it will be a bit hard to follow his footsteps totally, but some of the tips shared are quite useful, I like the part about doing some test before trying out the real thing.

Read another book earlier, testing small seems to be a real value before you do something big so it is less painful if it doesn't work. (read less)

Really exciting book (at first)

Well you gotta hand it to Tim Ferriss for achieving so much in a short time, he's quite the multi talented and multi tasking sort

and yup Karen, it's affordable enough to buy for a few friends

It was getting a bit 'salesy' for me when it talks about outsourcing your life to India.

but the bits of insights, like 'slow dancing' puts life in perspective.

Jugend! you should read this book!
