I bought the book when i was on vacation last year, interesting title and i had something to read in the plane etc.
The first part is interesting. While reading further it became a work book: Do this right now, write down that, etc. Wasnt what i expected it to be, was hoping for more depth / philosophy and mindset behind it. I noticed the more i read the less attention i had for it. Didn't finish it, maybe i'll continue some time.
But there is a huge flaw in this book. He's in the position he's in, because he describes how he set up his business: He was working 14 hours a day to make it a success. And when it was a success, that's when he started to apply these 4 hour workweek techniques.
Then he says 'anyone can apply the 4 hour workweek, whether youre an employee or your own boss'. So an employee who is making a crappy wage will apply these techniques. Well I can guarantee you he will be making an even crappier wage.
Fact is, without making those 14 hour days like he did, he wouldn't be in the position he is now. If he applied the 4 hour workweerk from the start and never worked his ass off, he would be a bum under a bridge right now. Paradox! Book debunked!
