The 4-Hour Workweek | Timothy Ferriss (Book Summary)

The book shows you how to reduce your work without working like an ordinary 9 to 5 worker.

Doing less is not laziness

Doing less meaningless work, so that you can focus on things of greater personal importance, is not laziness. This is hard for most to accept, because our culture tends to reward personal sacrifice instead of personal productivity.

Few people choose to do less. Despite fewer hours in the office, we can produce more meaningful results than burying ourselves in work.

Let’s redefine laziness anew — to endure a non-ideal existence to let circumstance or others decide life for you or to amass a fortune while passing through life like a spectator from an office window.

Emphasize strength, Don’t fix weaknesses

It is far more lucrative and fun to leverage your strengths instead of attempting to fix all the chinks in your armor. The choice is between multiplication of results using strengths or incremental improvement fixing weaknesses that will, at best, become mediocre. Focus on better use of your best weapons instead of constant repair.
