Review: One of the most inspiring books I've read- practical & thought provoking - The title of this book was the first thing to grab my attention and it was recommended read on a podcast I was listening to. I'll be honest, Ferris' journey was extreme and I'm sure it is mush easier to take the steps he did when you have a few million dollars in your bank account as he did. That said, he does raise some really thought provoking questions of priorities and self-imposed limitations, it really did stop to make me think why, when I actually have the means, was I not doing at least some of the things I thought that I would do if I won the lottery? A thought that led to me booking a fabulous exotic holiday, moving house and starting yoga. There are plenty of examples in the book of people who were not millionaires who have managed to make this happen in their own lives. His thoughts and advice on automation of work and outsourcing are a useful tool for anyone looking to relieve workplace stress. The idea of asking for reduced hours or flexible working might seem really scary but, I suppose, if you don't ask you don't get. If you're still not sure on this principle I would recommend reading The Aladdin Factor as that covers this area in much more depth. I personally think everyone should read this book at least once a year, just to remind themselves not to get stuck in the humdrum of mundane living and it's a must read for anyone looking to work for themselves or retiring soon. I bought my parents a copy in the hope that it would entice them to spend their retirement doing fun, exhilarating things that they've always put off before... the idea of tango lessons in Argentina was definitely appealing to them. Review: 5/5: An absolutely SUPERB self-help volume, full of great ideas and thought-provoking questions. - This has been sitting in my "to-read" shelf for a while, but I finally bought it when I was reminded about it by a friend. Even though i'd heard a lot of critical acclaim for this, I set my expectations low: just another self-help book. Well, I'm happy to say that I was wrong. This is a unique little book which has opened my eyes in many ways, forcing me to ask the difficult questions, and take control of my destiny. When I usually read something like this, I expect to pick up one or two useful ideas or thoughts which might help change my life in small ways. But this felt, ESPECIALLY in the first half of the book (i.e., the first 2 sections), like it was throwing legitimate interesting and potentially life-changing questions at me every couple of pages. I've NEVER experienced something like that before. Like other reviewers, I was a little underwhelmed by the second half. As a package, it's still VERY good, but the second half is quite obviously more US-centric and didn't leave me with as many moments where my jaw was dropping or the gears in my head were turning. I'd recommend this to anyone. I'm currently in the process of throwing it at my partner and telling all my friends and family about it. No matter what age, I think we can all learn something useful from this. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 3,826 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 3 in Financial Retirement Planning 8 in Personal Financial Investing 9 in Personal Money Management | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 27,404 Reviews | ## Images ![The 4-Hour Work Week: Escape the 9-5, Live Anywhere and Join the New Rich - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6142S0D-PiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the most inspiring books I've read- practical & thought provoking *by M***D on 10 February 2012* The title of this book was the first thing to grab my attention and it was recommended read on a podcast I was listening to.

However, some of it is quite specific to roles in sales or business. There are many great references and information sources, however, these are US-based and some are likely to be outdated now. I enjoyed the writing style, I found it easy to read, and straight to the point and liked that he doesn't sugarcoat things and says what a lot of people have probably thought themselves. His style is very much like Marmite you either love it or hate it. Overall I enjoyed the read. It was thought-provoking and inspirational. A solid 4-star read, but it didn't make 5 stars due to - being US specific (I'm UK), and being a touch repetitive, would be very good to have a new post-Covid update with more worldwide resources. ## Frequently Bought Together - The 4-Hour Work Week: Escape the 9-5, Live Anywhere and Join the New Rich - One Up On Wall Street: How To Use What You Already Know To Make Money In The Market - UNSCRIPTED: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Entrepreneurship --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48109501-the-4-hour-work-week-escape-the-9-5-live](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48109501-the-4-hour-work-week-escape-the-9-5-live) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
