单集简介 ...

This time around, we have a bit of a different format, featuring the book that started it all for me, The 4-Hour Workweek. Readers and listeners often ask me what I would change or update, but an equally interesting question is: what wouldn’t I change? What stands the test of time and hasn’t lost any potency? This episode features two of the most important chapters from the audiobook of The 4-Hour Workweek. The chapters push you to defend your scarce attention—one by saying no to people, the other by saying no to excess information.

  • Hello, boys and girls, ladies and germs.

  • This is Tim Ferriss.

  • Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show.

  • Ohayou gozaimasu.

  • I am recording this from my hotel room in Tokyo, Japan,

  • where I am in Jingu-mai and headed on the road yet again for some more adventures and then back to the U.S.

  • And when I'm doing this, aside from keeping in mind things like the mini retirement and setting up systems, that persist beyond your return to your home,

  • there are many tools that I still use to this day from the book that started it all, The 4-Hour Workweek.

  • It came out in 2007, was revised in 2009,

  • and yet it was one of Amazon's top 10 most highlighted books of all time.

  • Last time I checked, in 2017.

  • What that means is many of the principles many of the philosophies,

  • many of the templates still work.

  • There are certain tech tools and so on, of course, that have changed over time.

  • Those things change nonstop.

  • The rate of improvement, Moore's law, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

  • All of those things have changed,

  • but there are certain through lines and tactics and strategies that still...

  • So readers and listeners alike often ask me, what would you change?

  • What would you update?
