Kurzbeschreibung

24. April 2007
What do you do? Tim Ferriss has trouble answering the question. Depending on when you ask this
controversial Princeton University guest lecturer, he might answer:

“I race motorcycles in Europe.”
“I ski in the Andes.”
“I scuba dive in Panama.”
“I dance tango in Buenos Aires.”

He has spent more than five years learning the secrets of the New Rich, a fast-growing subculture who has abandoned the “deferred-life plan” and instead mastered the new currencies—time and mobility—to create luxury lifestyles in the here and now.

Whether you are an overworked employee or an entrepreneur trapped in your own business, this book is the compass for a new and revolutionary world. Join Tim Ferriss as he teaches you:

• How to outsource your life to overseas virtual assistants for $5 per hour and do whatever you want
• How blue-chip escape artists travel the world without quitting their jobs
• How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using the principles of a forgotten Italian economist
• How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and freuent "mini-retirements"
• What the crucial difference is between absolute and relative income
• How to train your boss to value performance over presence, or kill your job (or company) if it’s beyond repair
• What automated cash-flow “muses” are and how to create one in 2 to 4 weeks
• How to cultivate selective ignorance—and create time—with a low-information diet
• What the management secrets of Remote Control CEOs are
• How to get free housing worldwide and airfare at 50–80% off
• How to fill the void and create a meaningful life after removing work and the office

You can have it all—really.

Von Donald Mitchell TOP 500 REZENSENT
Format:Hörkassette
Did you know that if the trends of the last two centuries hold, everyone's workweek will be four hours by 2407? What will people do with all that free time? It's a good question that this book recommends you consider.

Mr. Ferriss does a favor for those who hate their jobs but cannot find work they like by explaining how you can still draw a salary while working very few hours (by hiding from the boss and using the 80/20 rule -- 80 percent of results come from 20 percent of efforts). His method is deliberately manipulative (possibly fraudulent is another possible description that comes to mind), so you'll have to watch out that you don't get caught or you might have to repay some of that salary.

What do you do while you are hiding from the boss? Mr. Ferriss recommends starting a highly profitable online retail business that's so highly automated it can be operated in only four hours a week. You'll find details of how to do this that matches what I receive in lots of spam e-mails every week.

After you've got half a million a year rolling in by selling expensive items at a high profit margin, Mr. Ferriss provides lots of advice on how to take six-month miniretirements in cheap places around the world (Argentina and Berlin are his favorites). I'm still puzzled by why Berlin can be a cheap place to live. The rest of Germany when I've visited certainly isn't.

The book's come-on explains how Mr. Ferriss has accomplished all kinds of world-class things to boost his credibility. Unfortunately, you'll find that it isn't always classy how Mr. Ferriss does this. For example, he won the Gold Medal at the Chinese Kickboxing National Championships in 1999.

3.0 von 5 Sternen Nothing new 31. Juli 2007
Von Manuelita
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book is about self-discipline, that's it. There are some interesting advertising campaigns, and some of the tools and tricks described are quite helpful. Also, when you enter the author's website, you get a credit for Google Adwords, which is nice.
However, almost all that's written in this book is nothing new. It goes without saying that you can learn a language in three months' time when you have nothing else (like work) to do besides. The techniques the author mentions on how to work most productively are known to anyone: When I have a deadline to meet it's totally clear that I don't answer the phone or refrain from watching the news or reduce checking my e-mail to just the essential. I don't need to read a book to tell me so.
I happened to see this book in the amazon top ten list and read the reviews - on amazon US that is. They were all enthusiastic, praising the book to the skies, treating it like a revelation, which induced me to order it. After reading the first chapter I was totally disappointed and checked the reviews on amazon UK, which were completely different, more realistic and not so naive.
Being a tutor for foreign languages myself, I fully agree with the bonus chapter on the website "Why language classes don't work". And I'm quite thankful for these pages, so I can show my students that there's someone else who thinks like me and I'm not making things up. What the author writes is in no way wrong, but again, to me this is nothing new. It's how I handle work - and life in general - without any script.

3.0 von 5 Sternen 80/20 14. Oktober 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Die im Buch propagierte 80/20-Theorie sollte auch direkt auf das Buch selber angewandt werden: 80% sind einseitig und extrem vereinfacht dargestellte Sachverhalte und stupide "You can do it if you really want!"-Mantras, die man aus anderen US-amerikanitschen Motivationsbüchern kennt, 20% sind interessante Überlegungen und Lebensansätze.

4.0 von 5 Sternen Unfassbar viele Tipps 23. Mai 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Wenn Sie selbst einen Draht zu Technik haben und darüber nachdenken, sich im Internet einen Nebenverdienst einzurichten, lohnt sich der Kauf dieses Buches auf jeden Fall.

Einzig der etwas pathetische Ton (Tim Ferriss scheint alles irgendwie zugeflogen zu sein) sollte besondere Aufmerksamkeit erhalten. Lassen Sie sich nicht einlullen, man kann nicht in einer Woche sein täglich Brot mit einer Internetseite verdienen. Viele professionelle Blogger beispielsweise haben erst nach drei, vier Jahren Arbeit ein so großes Archiv aufgebaut, dass sie Besucher anziehen und lange beschäftigen und halten können.

Viele Tipps von Ferriss sind jedoch sehr brauchbar und inspirieren Sie möglicherweise zu neuen Versuchen.

Wenn Sie sich wundern, wie man in Deutschland bloß an dieses Buch kommt, versuchen sie bol.de einfach mal. Amazon hat das Buch leider vor einiger Zeit aus dem Sortiment genommen (einige Tage war es hier im Angebot) und Buchhandlungen sind wegen des seltsamen Versandnetzes in Amerika nicht in der Lage, Ihnen das Buch in akzeptabler Zeit zu besorgen.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Scary... 1. September 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Wow - now this is a truly mind opening book.

The techniques described by Tim might not necessarily be the right ones for your needs - nevertheless, I doubt that you will be able to read this book without the lasting feeling that it is about time to change some things in your life.

Travelling the world might look a little different for you - especially if you are no longer 30 or have a family to bring along. But the real gem hidden in this book is the realization that you can "hack" everything in your life - your job, your mind, your body, your relationships, and even your soul.

You might go "Bullsh*t!" on quite a few statements in the book - naturally Tim's path has changed his view on the world quite radically. If you agree or not - this book will make you think. 110% guaranteed.

Be afraid. Once you read this, there is no way back...
