The 4-Hour Work Week

Summary

While some of the tactics are dated, the mindset shift this book provides is still valuable. It challenged my assumptions about work, retirement, and what's actually possible with intentional design of your life and business.

What I Learned

  • Define your ideal lifestyle first, then work backwards
  • Elimination is more powerful than optimisation
  • Most "urgent" things aren't actually important
  • Outsource and automate wherever possible
  • Mini-retirements throughout life beat one big retirement at the end
