The 4-Hour Workweek
''The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich'' (2007) is a self-help book by Timothy Ferriss, an American writer, educational activist, and entrepreneur. The book has spent more than four years on The New York Times Best Seller list, has been translated into 35 languages and has sold more than 1,350,000 copies worldwide.〔(Best-Known Projects ). ''Publishers Marketplace''.〕〔(Hardcover Business Best Sellers ). ''The New York Times''. May 1, 2011.〕〔(Bio ). ''FourHourWorkWeek.com/Blog''.〕 It focuses on what Ferriss refers to as "lifestyle design" and a repudiation of the traditional "deferred" life plan in which people work grueling hours and take few vacations for decades and save money in order to relax after retirement.
==Background==
Ferriss developed the ideas present in ''The 4-Hour Workweek'' while working 14-hour days at his sports nutrition supplement company, BrainQUICKEN.〔Maney, Kevin; Chapula, Andrea. (Tim Ferriss Wants You to Get A Life ). ''ABC News''. October 11, 2007.〕 Frustrated by the overwork and lack of free time, Ferriss took a 3-week sabbatical to Europe. During that time and continued travels throughout Europe, Asia, and South America, Ferriss developed a streamlined system of checking email once per day and outsourcing small daily tasks to virtual assistants.〔Rosenbloom, Stephanie. (The World According to Tim Ferriss ). ''The New York Times''. March 25, 2011.〕 His personal escape from a workaholic lifestyle was the genesis of the book.〔Ohannessian, Kevin. (Leadership Hall of Fame: Tim Ferriss, Author of "The 4-Hour Workweek" ). ''Fast Company''. January 20, 2011.〕
The format of ''The 4-Hour Workweek'' took shape during a series of lectures Ferriss delivered on high-tech entrepreneurship at Princeton University, his alma mater.〔Hall, Cornelia. (Ferriss '00 takes the day off ). ''The Daily Princetonian''. May 9, 2007.〕 The lectures (and book) focused on Ferriss' own experiences in company automation and lifestyle development.〔
