The 4 Hour Workweek Revisited | The Tim Ferriss Show (Podcast) |
|
My first book, The 4-Hour Workweek, recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. Thousands of you have asked me how I would update it today — and many have asked why I haven’t updated it since 2009.
For this episode, I discuss common questions and misperceptions, and how I would adjust certain chapters and recommendations. Tim revisits The 4-Hour Workweek.
