Interview with Tim Ferriss
Tim Ferris, the author of The Four Hour Work Week, considers himself a life hacker, a person who solves everyday problems in a clever or non-obvious way. His strategies include simplifying and automating, finding ways to be more efficient with your time and breaking the outdated expectations of the “deferred-life” career path and living mini-retirements now. Lifestyle design and his rules are very simple and revelational to all entrepeneurs, almost in a common sense and why didn’t I think of that way. Tim Ferris’ book is my most recommended book to read if you are serious about living the life you want to have as your own boss.
Leo Babauta is releasing his exclusive audio interview with Timothy Ferriss, famed liver of a simple but productive and exciting lifestyle.
Ferriss is famous for reducing his business hours down to the minimum required, putting much of it on autopilot, outsourcing a lot of work, cutting himself off from information overload, and freeing up most of his time to pursue his passions and travel the world.
His book has inspired thousands to make changes in their life, and it quickly rose on all the best-seller lists, including No. 1 on the N.Y. Times list.
