I listened to Timothy Perriss at TED talk several months ago; he talked quickly and full of energy... I hope to find his book here in Indonesia, I think they even already translated it too. I myself don't like to work only 4 hours; I can work even 8-10 hours a day for any work I like so much. :) Hi Annabel,

Thanks!

I picked up a book for the first time in over a year last week. I am reading Robert Kiyosaki's "Conspiracy Of The Rich" I am only half way through and already my eyes have opened. I will put "The 4 Hour Work Week" on my list to read. Thank you for the review. Cheers Jacinta :) Hi Annabel,

I don't want to disillusion you:) Haha, I tracked your post down and checked it out. I suppose I am addicted to computers in some way - not games though but learning about the stuff we can do with them and learning on the Internet. When you see adds for Xboxes and the like they sometimes show couples playing together. Just buying into the male fantasy probably - I for one would certainly prefer a nice chat over a cup of tea, a game of backgammon or even hittling a tennis ball around.

For the entertainment, read this older post (12/11/2007) on my blog ..

Trying to get it under control here and making some progress! QwkDrw - Yep, we've got to control it but it's hard. Luckily I steer well clear of computer games after writing an MA paper about what makes them so addictive:) Pablo - It does sound lovely. But I guess the 4 hours is just the boring stuff like accouting of course we do have to do something. I have to say that me and my husband are probably quite rare in that we can do nothing (I mean no work) for extended periods of time without getting bored. Quite a skill:) Fida – The Internet’s a blessing and a curse. Trying to get it under control here and making some progress!

It’s great! But you will soon be bored and tired of doing nothing… The difference is that whatever you find to spend your time with it will be much better than your original, plain-vanilla desk job. You will end “working” more than four hors a week, but it is always a pleasure. However, be forewarned that even the seemingly laziest lifestyle requires planning and could require years to be fulfilled. You will have to persist and think very carefully.

Good post here, interesting introduction and overview of a book that may appeal to many people ... trying to squeeze their 40 - 60 hour work week into 4 hours. Maybe even 4 days -- casual Fridays, Thursday is the new Friday, etc. Seriously, though. The internet has become omnipresent and necessary in daily work and life; similar to transportation, television, cell phones, analog to digital, and other life changers. You point out a valuable life skill: "Control the internet [in your life]". If you'll excuse me, must leave now. Checking several social networking websites all day and later meeting up for some epic online gaming (wink) ... “No web surfing [ !? ... ] unless you need information that very day.”

"Control the Internet, don’t let it eat up your life" especially interests me;) I am already doing what I love, and funnily enough, I don't mind to work long hours since I am doing it for me and the results are rewarding. But I definitely could use some good tips on how to achieve the same with less hours:) Time management is not my forte:) You made me curious, and I will get the book. # 4. “Control the Internet, don’t let it eat up your life” especially interests me;) I am already doing what I love, and funnily enough, I don’t mind to work long hours since I am doing it for me and the results are rewarding.
