9. Four Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss
If you haven’t read it yet, almost everyone has at least heard of Four Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss. Just as the title suggests, Ferriss attempts to explain how he has pulled off outsourcing employees to help him run his business so that he can spend less time doing the actual work, and still make a profit. He claims that he went from working 80 hours per week to earn $40,000 a year to making $40,000 a month only working 4 hours per week. While some people have called this book life-changing and enlightening, others think the ideas he proposes are much easier said than done. You’ll just have to read and judge for yourself.
