The 4-hour workweek : escape 9-5, live anywhere, and join the new rich / Timothy Ferriss. Four-hour workweek. Expanded and updated ed., 1st revised ed.

First and foremost -- Step I: D is for definition -- Step II: E is for elimination -- Step III: A is for automation -- Step IV: L is for liberation -- Last but not least. Forget the old concept of retirement and the rest of the deferred-life plan--there is no need to wait and every reason not to, especially in unpredictable economic times. Whether your dream is escaping the rat race, experiencing high-end world travel, earning a monthly five-figure income with zero management, or just living more and working less, here is the blueprint. This step-by-step guide to luxury lifestyle design teaches: how Tim went from $40,000 per year and 80 hours per week to $40,000 per month and 4 hours per week; 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 frequent "mini-retirements."--From publisher description. 20130301.
