Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show<\/a><\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This time around, we have a bit of a different format, featuring the book that started it all for me, The 4-Hour Workweek<\/em><\/a>. <\/strong>Even though it was published in 2007, it was one of Amazon\u2019s top-10 Most Highlighted Books of All Time last time I checked in 2017.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Readers and listeners often ask me what I would change or update, but an equally interesting question is: what wouldn\u2019t<\/em> I change? What stands the test of time and hasn\u2019t lost any potency?\u00a0<\/p>\n

This episode features three timeless chapters from the audiobook of The 4-Hour Workweek<\/em>:<\/p>\n

1) <\/strong>The chapter on taking mini-retirements, which challenges the deferred-life plan and shows you how to distribute recovery and adventure throughout life instead of saving it all for retirement.<\/p>\n

2)<\/strong> \u201cFilling the Void,\u201d which addresses what happens when you actually achieve lifestyle design and the unexpected emotional and philosophical challenges of having a lot of time on your hands.<\/p>\n

3)<\/strong> \u201c13 Mistakes of the New Rich,\u201d where I outlined the most common pitfalls I\u2019ve seen people encounter when implementing the book\u2019s principles.<\/p>\n

The chapters are narrated by the great voice actor Ray Porter. If you are interested in checking out the rest of the audiobook, which is produced and copyrighted by Blackstone Publishing, you can find it on Audible<\/a>, Apple<\/a>, Google<\/a>, Spotify<\/a>, Downpour.com<\/a>, or wherever you find your favorite audiobooks.<\/p>\n

Please enjoy!<\/p>\n
